[R-sig-ME] problem in installing the alpha version of lme

[Kari Ruohonen]

Hi,

I tried just to install the alpha version of lme4 from R-forge with

install.packages("lme4", repos = "http://r-forge.r-project.org")

But I got an error saying:

Warning message:
In install.packages("lme4", repos = "http://r-forge.r-project.org") :
  package ‘lme4’ is not available

My session info is as follows:

Thanks for your help.
