The error message strongly suggests that the line beginning "d2logl <-"
is being seen as a continuation of the preceding line.

Counting parentheses, I find that you are 1 short of what is required
to complete the expression in the line beginning "-(n/theta)".

In that case, R will continue on to the next line seeking the completion,
and will encounter "d2logl" non-syntactically.
