I am trying to install an old version of lme4 (v. 0.999999-2) in R
2.15.2 on my Windows 7 computer. The newer versions of lme4 do not
support the analyses I am trying to conduct. I saved the packaged
archive file (lme4_0.999999-2(1).tar) to my hard drive and then used
RStudio's "Install from Package Archive File" to attempt to install
the package. However, I received the following error message:
Installing package(s) into ?C:/Users/JBauder/Documents/R/win-library/2.15?

(as ?lib? is unspecified)

* installing *source* package 'lme4' ...

** package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

** libs



*** arch - i386

ERROR: compilation failed for package 'lme4'

* removing 'C:/Users/JBauder/Documents/R/win-library/2.15/lme4'

Warning in install.packages :

"C:/Users/JBauder    /Documents/R/win-library/2.15"
"C:/Users/JBauder/Documents/R/lme4_0.999999-2(1).tar.gz"' had status 1

Warning in install.packages :

  installation of package
?C:/Users/JBauder/Documents/R/lme4_0.999999-2(1).tar.gz? had non-zero
exit status



Does anyone have any ideas of how to get around this error?



Thanks,

  Do you have all of the tools installed that are required to
build binary packages in R?

  Windows binary versions of lme4.0 (a backward compatibility
version of lme4) are available from

http://lme4.r-forge.r-project.org/repos/bin/windows/contrib/2.15/
