How about updating R to the latest version?

[glihm]

Update your R version, and install packages of dependencies. ;)

[glihm]

Fist : Install the new version downloaded here.

Then : Some packages need to be installed if they are not in the R basics. So, you have to install manually each packages in your error message. If you are asking you how to install one package, follow this guide. ;)

Hope it helps you.

If you do not need the latest version, you can install the packaged version distributed by Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install r-cran-ggplot2

[glihm]

This command does install all dependencies automatically on Linux?

[Charles Plessy]

Yes, see packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/r-cran-ggplot2 for details. Note that the dependencies themselves will be old, since Trusty is old.
