I am trying to install R package caret
Which gives me ERROR: dependencies ‘ggplot2’, ‘reshape2’, ‘BradleyTerry2’ are not available for package ‘caret’
I tried to install each of this individually, which again shows installation going on, ending with message that installation of package ‘X’ had non-zero exit status
1: In install.packages("caret") :
installation of package ‘minqa’ had non-zero exit status
2: In install.packages("caret") :

Ask recursively to install some package. What is the issue?
I had older version, where I was getting similar error. I removed and installed latest. Currently version is R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet"
, but still getting similar error message
UPDATE
STarted with : install.packages('caret', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/')
which displays message:

Changing the configuration in R Studio to solve install packages issue. Go To Tools -> Global option -> Packages. Then uncheck the option “Use secure download method for HTTP”. For other RStudio issues refer to official Troubleshooting Guide here.

Caret is a one-stop solution for machine learning in R. The R package caret has a powerful train function that allows you to fit over 230 different models using one syntax. There are over 230 models included in the package including various tree-based models, neural nets, deep learning and much more.
I installed this on Linux before and it works:sudo apt-get install -y r-cran-rcppeigen
As the caret Documentation suggests execute install.packages("caret", dependencies = c("Depends", "Suggests"))
to ensure that all the needed packages are installed and resolve all the dependencies
