Failure to load lme4 on Mac

Hi Sean,

On your Macbook do you have xcode installed? The error "sh: make: 
command not found" indicates that this is not the case.

The best place to get the latest xcode is http://connect.apple.com/ (The 
main Apple site sends you back and forward between two pages for the 
xcode download).

Here is the log when I build lme4 (R 2.11.0, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, xcode 
3.2.2):

* DONE (lme4)

Hey,
I've been able to work around the lack of a binary for mac snow leopard's (and lme4's) latest updates.  On a  Mac Pro, I was able to download the source package and install.  On my Mac Book, I cannot install lme4 on the latest R 2.11.0 at all.

My status now is that I have no access to lme4 on my laptop for some reason, but cannot figure out what the problem is.

Any help would be welcome,

Sean

This is from the mac GUI install through the source.  Obviously there is no binary at the CRAN site.
