Thanks, Ben

I re-installed lme4a from scratch and it works fine now!

BTW if I do require(lme4a), I still see lme4 "loaded via a namespace" in
sessionInfo(), even if I start with R --vanilla

Must be coming from another package as lme4a does not load lme4.

sessionInfo()

library(lme4a)

Dear all,

I am trying to use the lmList function from lme4a, but I get the
following error even with the example sleepstudy dataset:

require(lme4a)
lmList(Reaction ~ Days | Subject, sleepstudy)

Call: lmList(formula = Reaction ~ Days | Subject, data = sleepstudy)
Coefficients:
Error in sprintf(gettext(fmt, domain = domain), ...) :
  invalid type of argument[1]: 'language'

  It works for me ...  I would try starting from a clean session,
especially making sure that you have *not* tried to load lme4 previously
(I see you have it "loaded via a namespace" below).
(Hmmm, I just tried loading and then detaching lme4 to get the same
"loaded via namespace" effect, and it didn't break for me.)
