[taking the liberty of cc'ing this to r-sig-mixed-models]
Have you tried
install.packages("optextras",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org",type="source")
?
(this may require you to go further down the rabbit hole and install
compilation tools, see the R FAQ for your operating system ...)

Thank you very much for your reply. I've just used the following:
install.packages("lme4",
+ repos=c("http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos",
+ getOption("repos")[["CRAN"]]))
And the programme seems to be working, though I'm not entirely sure if
this is the 1.1-7 (it says "lme4" but not "lme.1.1.-7").
packageVersion("lme4") should tell you what you have (or sessionInfo())
Also, having separately installed "optimx", I still cannot use the optimiser, and got a message that I now need to install "optextras". So I tried the folllwing:
Can you be a little bit more specific about what you're trying to do? For basic use of lme4 you shouldn't need optimx ...
install.packages("optextras", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
But I got a message that says: "package ?optextras? is available as a
source package but not as a binary
Warning message: package ?optextras? is not available (for R version
3.1.1)"
Could you perhaps please give me an advice where I could find an
appropriate "optextras"?
Many thanks,
Kumiko

Copying lme4 into the library folder is probably not the best way to
install a package.
If you install.packages("lme4"), R should automatically detect and install
dependencies for you.
It does look like minqa is up to data/available:

Hi there,
I'm trying to install lme4.1.1-7. I've been using a very old R (R
2.14.1), so I installed a newer version of R (3.1.1).
Then I downloaded lme4.1.1-7 from https://github.com/lme4/lme4/releases
and copied it into the library folder in R.
When I ran "library(lme4)", I get the following error message.
Error in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck
= vI[[j]]) :
there is no package called ?minqa?
Error: package or namespace load failed for ?lme4?
I seem to be missing something critical, but I have no clue. I've also
tried to use the newer version of lme4 in R 2.15.0, 2.15.1, 2.15.2, but
have been unsuccessful (it has been hard to find the right version of other
components).
It'd be very helpful if you could give me some guidance.
Best wishes
Kumiko
