[R-SIG-Mac] car and effects packages taking down R

[scott gilliland]

I’m having some problems with the car and effects packages taking R down.  I sent a note to John Fox and followed his suggestions, i.e. run update.packages(ask=False) and try to load each of the packages on the Depends and Imports lists.  I did these and It seems that lme4 was the problem.  When I tried the lists of Depends and Imports for lme4 it appears that the problem maybe with minqa.  I have version 1.2.4 installed.   Not sure if you could help.

my session info is:

> sessionInfo()

Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace


Appreciate any advice.
