[R-sig-ME] lme4a?

[Ben Bolker]

  I'm not sure, but I got it via SVN.  I don't see lme4a exposed
anywhere on r-forge.

  As the web page suggests

svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4
[move to appropriate directory]
cd pkg
R CMD INSTALL lme4a

[you'll need to have all the appropriate build tools installed]

 HOWEVER: lme4a is under EXTREMELY rapid (=unstable) development, and
the current version is broken on my system -- I think (???) that there's
a "mer.h" file that's supposed to have been added but didn't get in.

  The current version on SVN is r685; I had to back up to r679 to get a
working version.

  r680 log says "Removing definitions no longer used" -- perhaps
something extra got removed?

 (I have mucked around with things a bit, so there's an outside chance
that this is my fault -- can anyone else confirm?)
