[R] 'Installation of package <package> had non-zero exit, > status' on R-3.2.0 (RStudio Version 0.98.1103) on Ubuntu 12.04 OS
As another post has suggested, r-sig-debian may be more help. However, it looks like you need to install a different package from the one you tried. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1774516 about getting libcurl on 12.04. FYI Ubuntu 12.04 is now getting dated, and I've found people using it get similar problems to that you encountered -- i.e., packages that more up to date distros use are not available, or those that are available don't have all the features needed. Maybe time to upgrade.
