installing lme4.0 on OS X 10.9

Thanks so much, Tobias.  Unfortunately, setting up a Makevars file like you suggested simply leaves me with the same errors in R as I get in the command line:
install.packages("lme4.0", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",type="source")

Any further thoughts or suggestions on this, anyone?

Dear Roger,

if I remember correctly, this solved the problem for me:
on the top level of your user account, create a folder .R (if it?s not there yet);
in there, create a new text file named Makevars;
into this file, paste the following:

CC=clang
CXX=clang++ -arch x86_64 -ftemplate-depth-256 -stdlib=libstdc++
CXXFLAGS= -O3 -pedantic

hope it helps
Best,
Tobias

Subject:  [R-sig-ME] installing lme4.0 on OS X 10.9 
Hi all, 

My Mac laptop died and I am now reinstalling all my packages from scratch. Previously I was using lme4_0.999999-2 and I figure that with a fresh install, I might as well install lme4.0 instead. But I am having trouble compiling it: 

install.packages("lme4.0", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",type="source") 
trying URL 'http://r-forge.r-project.org/src/contrib/lme4.0_0.999999-4.tar.gz' 
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 772384 bytes (754 Kb) 
opened URL 
================================================== 
downloaded 754 Kb 

* installing *source* package ?lme4.0? ... 
** libs 
llvm-gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99 -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/Matrix/include" -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/stats/include" -fPIC -mtune=core2 -g -O2 -c init.c -o init.o 
/bin/sh: llvm-gcc-4.2: command not found 

This happens even after I install Xcode and also llvm-gcc42 on MacPorts; 

Does anyone have any suggestions? FWIW: 

sessionInfo() 
R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) 
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) 

locale: 
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 

attached base packages: 
[1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base 

loaded via a namespace (and not attached): 
[1] tools_3.0.2 

I?ve also tried installing from the command line; this bottoms out in a different error: 

$ R CMD build lme4.0 
? 
<snip> 
? 
ld: warning: directory not found for option ?-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/x86_64? 
ld: warning: directory not found for option ?-L/usr/local/lib/x86_64? 
ld: warning: directory not found for option ?-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3? 
ld: library not found for -lgfortran 
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) 
make: *** [lme4.so] Error 1 

More generally, I?m having trouble figuring out what I should install in order to be able to compile lme4.0 from source. 

Best & many thanks in advance for any guidance, 

Roger Levy
