the method:

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4
Thanks for this info! I tried it out, but got "Connection refused" from svn. I
have only very limited experience with svn, so I may be missing something basic.
Do I need to create a repository first, or do I need to have a svn username for

You shouldn't need a repository or a user name

I'm probably not the best person to test something like

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4

but I did get a response.  I would start by listing the subdirectories
as there are many and you don't want them all

bates at bates3:/tmp$ svn list svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4
branches/
pkg/
www/

What you really want is in

 svn list svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4/pkg/lme4a

Thank you for the suggestion! However, I get the same error message
"Connection refused" even for svn list. I will try it out at home to see if
there is some proxy or other problem with svnserve at work.

I'm probably the ***best*** person to test something like this, because
if there is a way for things to go wrong, the Computer Gods will find it
for me!  Without fail.

So I tested it.  There was an initial hiccup (see above!) --- I didn't 
have svn
installed on my (Ubuntu running) laptop, but "sudo apt-get install 
subversion"
fixed that.  Of course I tried "sudo apt-get install svn" first, and was 
told
``no such package''; fortunately I have ***just*** enough knowledge to know
that "svn" is like, kind of, an abbreviation for subversion.

Anyhow, after the initial hiccup the download worked seamlessly.

So it would appear that Matthias Gralle is even more afflicted by the
Computer Gods than I am.  Which is hard to believe, but there it is!

     cheers,

"At work" .... Hmmmm.  Firewall problem?

I think so, and will try later at home. Anyway, I have download the "nightly
SVN tree snapshot" using normal http, and that has worked alright. Thanks for
the help.

I have managed to install lme4a by http from the SVN repository (nightly SVN
tree snapshot) and compile it. Ch1.R runs without a problem, specifically
pr1 <- profile(fm1ML)
works fine, but
env(fm1ML)$Lambda
Error: could not find function "env"

Does this version of lme4a not include "env" anymore? Below are the exact
versions.

Yes.  I have a bad "best is the enemy of the good problem" and have
delayed putting up revised versions of the R code in the book chapters
until I can stabilize the code base and modify the text to correspond
to the new code.  Unfortunately that is taking longer than I had
hoped.

For what it's worth,

 install.packages("lme4a",repos="http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos")

  should now work on MacOS.

For the record, one has to install also, now from CRAN (not from R-forge)
the packages minqa and MatrixModels.

I am then able to attach lme4a.
