[R-sig-ME] Chapter drafts of my book are now on the R-forge web site for lme4

[Rob Goedman]

Hi,

Working through chapter 1, I got stuck on the profiled deviance section (1.4.2/1.5) which need lme4a (I guess).

Has anyone been able to install lme4a on SnowLeopard? 

An older R.2.10.1/Leopard/ppc machine or R.2.10.1 and R-devel (SnowLeopard, both 32 or 64 bit) all produce the error shown below.

Thanks,
Rob
