Try this:

install.packages(c("matrixStats", "Hmisc", "splines", "foreach", "doParallel", "fastcluster", "dynamicTreeCut", "survival"))

source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")

biocLite(c("GO.db", "preprocessCore", "impute"))

or install locally : For Linux For Windows For Unix.

Try this:

install.packages("BiocManager")

BiocManager::install("WGCNA")

and what is the error? Is there any library missing or what you are getting there.

Type 'sessionInfo()', and post the output here. That could be helpful for experts (not me) to solve your problem.

There is a trick that worked for me when I got such error. I installed all the packages manually which exit with non-zero exit status such:

install.packages(c('libraries list ', 'with', 'non-zero', 'error'))

enter all the packages name in it like acepack, impute etc and finally installed the package again with 

BiocManager::install('WGCNA')
