[R] Installing lme4 package in Windows Vista

[Angela Radulescu]

Hi all,

I have a problem with package installing in Windows, on my PC machine. The
end goal is to be able to use the lme() function. Here's what I did so far: 

> install.packages("lme4")
Warning in install.packages("lme4") :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
'C:\Users\Angela\Documents/R/win-library/2.9'
--- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session ---
trying URL
'http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/2.9/lme4_0.999375-31.zip'
Content type 'application/zip' length 1140865 bytes (1.1 Mb)
opened URL
downloaded 1.1 Mb

package 'lme4' successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

The downloaded packages are in
        C:\Users\Angela\AppData\Local\Temp\Rtmp1t8vjT\downloaded_packages
updating HTML package descriptions
Warning message:
In file.create(f.tg) :
  cannot create file 'C:\PROGRA~1\R\R-29~1.1/doc/html/packages.html', reason
'Permission denied'

I had to change permissions on some of the "library" folder before this.
Still, after installation, R cannot find the "lme" function of interest. 

> lme
Error: object 'lme' not found

Does anyone know why this is happening, and what the solution to the problem
is? 

Many thanks,
Angela
