[R-sig-ME] lme4 ranef

[Douglas Bates]

You have the nlme package loaded after the lme4 package which means
that ranef refers to the nlme version, not to the lme4 version.  You
can either:
  - no attach both the nlme package and the lme4 package
simultaneously (recommended)
  - use the fully qualified name lme4::ranef(...)
