[R-sig-ME] Failure to load lme4 on Mac

[Daniel Myall]

Hi Sean,

On your Macbook do you have xcode installed? The error "sh: make: 
command not found" indicates that this is not the case.

The best place to get the latest xcode is http://connect.apple.com/ (The 
main Apple site sends you back and forward between two pages for the 
xcode download).

Here is the log when I build lme4 (R 2.11.0, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, xcode 
3.2.2):
