[R-SIG-Mac] lme4 in Lion?

[Katherine Hayden]

> I don't understand this at all. Yet another error? What error?

Unfortunately, the one error message I didn't save. It looked like
another dynamic loading error. Please let me know if it will be
helpful, and I will un-do the fixes and try to recreate it. The
software is now working as perfectly for me as it is for you, after
linking to lib.Rblas.0.dylib.

Simon also had written that if I insist on building the package from
the source, I should to switch to R BLAS first. I'm happy to work with
the binary, and installing gfortran in /usr/local/bin allowed me to do
that, so I hadn't followed up on the suggestion prior to my last
message. I didn't find a reference to switching to R BLAS in the
thread I quoted, and so I hadn't tried it earlier, either. Now that
you both have pointed me in the right direction, I see the references
in other threads. It is certainly a more elegant solution than my
earlier fix, and it's also working perfectly.

In the terminal, I used the command exactly as in the FAQ (from Simon,
correct? Thanks for posting that.) to link libRbls0.dylib to
libRblas.dylib. I uninstalled g fortran v. 4.2.3, and with only g
fortran 4.2.4 in /usr/bin, I am able to install lme4 from source or
from the binary and run example(lmer) with no errors.

Thank you for your help!
Katy
