I am behind a university firewall which (apparently) has port 3690
(svn:// default) blocked.

The nightly snapshot (linked from
http://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/?group_id=60) downloads ok, and
appears to build, but fails with

Error : package 'Matrix' 0.999375-37 was found, but >= 0.999375.38 is
required by 'lme4a'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ?lme4a?

As far as I can see 0.999375-37 is the latest version available on CRAN.

Thanks for the suggestions. At least this path appears that it could
work, if I am able to satisfy dependencies. I will keep trying.

be working now, but that's recent.

anywhere on r-forge.

? As the web page suggests

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4
[move to appropriate directory]
cd pkg
R CMD INSTALL lme4a

[you'll need to have all the appropriate build tools installed]

?HOWEVER: lme4a is under EXTREMELY rapid (=unstable) development, and
the current version is broken on my system -- I think (???) that there's
a "mer.h" file that's supposed to have been added but didn't get in.

? The current version on SVN is r685; I had to back up to r679 to get a
working version.

? r680 log says "Removing definitions no longer used" -- perhaps
something extra got removed?

?(I have mucked around with things a bit, so there's an outside chance
that this is my fault -- can anyone else confirm?)

I am attempting to following along with Douglas Bates book draft.

R Forge claims that the following works automatically:

install.packages("lme4a", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

but I get

? package ?lme4a? is not available.

Attempting to obtain the source manually from the lme4 project page
(which points to):

http://r-forge.r-project.org/src/contrib/lme4a_0.999375-46.tar.gz

produces page not found.

I presume this means something is broken? Or is the expectation that
we fetch from SVN?

Greg
