Hello UseRs,
I've just tried to load the lme4 package and got the error message, "function 'cholmod_l_start' not provided by package 'Matrix'". I downloaded the latest version of lme4 and its required packages (lattice and Matrix) as suggested in the archives and still got this message. The FAQ and archives suggested to check the R version requirements, but I'm already using the latest available version of R, 2.8.1. I'm using Windows XP Professional.
Thanks for any help,
Megan Davies

Dear Megan,
It looks like you don't have the latest version of the Matrix package.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.

notprovided by package 'Matrix'"
Hello UseRs,
I've just tried to load the lme4 package and got the error message,
"function 'cholmod_l_start' not provided by package 'Matrix'". I
downloaded the latest version of lme4 and its required packages (lattice
and Matrix) as suggested in the archives and still got this message.
The FAQ and archives suggested to check the R version requirements, but
I'm already using the latest available version of R, 2.8.1. I'm using
Windows XP Professional.
Thanks for any help,
