[R-sig-ME] Could not get a lmer or glmer summary

[Eric Edeline]

I have solved my problem, which was apparently due to a conflict between 
lme4 and another library (one of these: tree, VGAM, sn, Matrix, 
mclust...) about an "rcon" object if I remember well.  Removing all the 
libraries including lme4 from /usr/local/lib/R/site-library and 
re-installing lme4 in /usr/lib/R/site-library made the trick. Sorry for 
not providing more detailed information, I just do not remember more!

Cheers,

eric
