Although biocLite() will install lme4:
> biocLite("lme4")
Using R version 2.11.0, biocinstall version 2.6.7.
Installing Bioconductor version 2.6 packages:
[1] "lme4"
Please wait...
trying URL
'http://cran.fhcrc.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.11/lme4_0.999375-34.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1217564 bytes (1.2 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 1.2 Mb
package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
The downloaded packages are in
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\RtmpV9p1Ho\downloaded_packages
this isn't a Bioconductor issue, as lme4 isn't a BioC package. In
addition, the bulk of the functionality underlying biocLite() is now
part of base R.
So I would suggest trying again, and if that doesn't work, try asking on
R-help. But you might want to give them the results from
install.packages() rather than biocLite(), lest you get sent back here
in error.
Best,
Jim
