Ben is correct that it is a version mismatch with packages on which
lme4a depends, although it happens to be the MatrixModels package
rather than Rcpp.  There is a cascade of dependencies because the new
version of MatrixModels depends on an as-yet-unreleased version of
Matrix.

Sorry for the blockage.  Martin and I will coordinate releases,
probably this weekend.  It happens that both of us are very busy
preparing courses that we are or will be teaching.  I have a heavy
teaching load this semester and am trying to get materials prepared
ahead of time.

I have compiled packages of the lme4a from July available at
