Luck has nothing to do with it. What part of ERROR in the CRAN package  
check for the current version of lme4 with the Mac R 2.11.0  don't you  
understand? Packages that generate errors are not made available as  
binaries.

I was giving you advice about how to deal with the stated difficulty  
with installing lme4 from source using the older versions of R. Only  
if you want to revert to 2.10.1 and install a prior version for lme4  
would my advice be helpful.
