install.packages("ggplot2") not working

I'm using R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) -- "Frisbee Sailing"

While trying to install ggplot2 on R, I'm getting the following errors:

install.packages("ggplot2")

can someone please help in resolving these errors? I googled and tried to installed dependencies already, but nothing seems to work. Thanks in advance.

I've got almost the exact same setup as you and:

install.packages("plyr", repos="http://cran.rstudio.com/")
install.packages("ggplot2", repos="http://cran.rstudio.com/")

worked alright for me. Give it a shot, and if it still doesn't work, try another mirror:

install.packages("plyr", repos="http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/")
install.packages("ggplot2", repos="http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/")
