[R-sig-ME] Problem with library(lme4a)

[zListserv]

Getting closer?

$ ls /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
$ cd /usr/local/lib
$ sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib
Password:
$ ll libgfortran.2.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  79 Jul 12 22:03 libgfortran.2.dylib -> /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.13/Resources/lib/libgfortran.2.dylib

BUT, R:

R> library(lme4a)
Error in get(hookname, envir = env, inherits = FALSE) : 
  internal error -3 in R_decompress1
Error: package/namespace load failed for 'lme4a'
