the new version of LME4 (0.99375-13) installs (and works!) on a 
Power PC Mac (OS X 10.4.10). However, it will not load on an Intel 
Mac (also OS X 10.4.10).  I get the following message:

Error in dyn.load(file, ...) :
   unable to load shared library 
'/Users/stevenorzack/Library/R/2.6/library/lme4/libs/i386/lme4.so':
 
dlopen(/Users/stevenorzack/Library/R/2.6/library/lme4/libs/i386/lme4.so, 
6): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
   Referenced from: 
/Users/stevenorzack/Library/R/2.6/library/lme4/libs/i386/lme4.so
   Reason: image not found
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'lme4'

help will be much appreciated!

# 
Please issue
install.packages("lme4")
in R to update your package. The currently available version is lme4  
0.99875-9 and it works without problems.

Cheers,
Simon

Dear Simon,
   many thanks for your reply!
   oops, sorry for the confusion........that was a typo. I HAVE 
installed the latest version 0.999375-13 (I dropped a 9 in my 
message......). It is this latest version that DOES not install in R 
2.6.2. I should mention that I need this latest version because 
earlier versions generated divergent scale estimates and Dr. Bates 
has very nicely reworked the estimation scheme so that divergent 
estimates would not appear. I know that 0.999375-13 DOES WORK on a 
Power PC Mac. As my message stated, it does NOT install on an Intel 
Mac

SO, the problem remains. Any help is much appreciated!

Well, then you have to enlighten us as of where you get it from,  
because it's not from CRAN. If you compiled it yourself from sources,  
then you cannot just move it from one machine to another unless you  
also copy the dependencies (gfortran library in your case). Please be  
specific about what you are doing otherwise we have no way of helping  
you.

Cheers,
Simon

Well, that binary is not from CRAN. Please file this as a bug report  
with R-Forge. Apparently they require you to install gfortran (see http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/
) in order to use their binaries.
