[R-sig-Debian] ubuntu hardy heron and lme4

[Anne York]

Hi Michael:

I already tried reinstalling from with R on cran -- after 
checking on the status of LAPACK:

/usr/bin/R CMD config LAPACK_LIBS

to which the system responded 

-llapack

The result was the same. The programs within lme4 failed to 
compile because -llapack was not found. The error message 
during installation was: 

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
