I am trying to install the R caret package
Which gives me ERROR: dependencies 'ggplot2', 'reshape2', 'BradleyTerry2' are not available for package 'caret'
I tried to install each of them separately, which again shows the installation, ending with the 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") : installation of package 'RcppEigen' had non-zero exit status 3: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'scales' had non-zero exit status 4: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'reshape2' had non-zero exit status 5: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'lme4' had non-zero exit status 6: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'ggplot2' had non-zero exit status 7: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'BradleyTerry2' had non-zero exit status 8: In install.packages("caret") : installation of package 'caret' had non-zero exit status
Ask to install some package recursively. What is the problem?
I had an older version where I was getting a similar error. I uninstalled and installed the latest version. Currently, version R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) -- "Pumpkin Helmet" but a similar error message still appears
UPDATE
First, use install.packages('caret', repos='http://cran.rstudio.com/') , which displays the message:
Installing package into '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library' (as 'lib' is unspecified) also installing the dependencies 'minqa', 'RcppEigen', 'scales', 'lme4', 'ggplot2', 'reshape2', 'BradleyTerry2'
and the process ends with:
