 For what it's worth: due to various glitches/stupidities, glmmADMB
wasn't building on R-forge for a few days.  The source package now seems
to be building fine, although the binary packages aren't there (for
reasons I don't understand ...)  Furthermore, R2admb (on which glmmADMB
now depends) is now on CRAN so should be even easier to install.
Finally, I put a backup version of both on a local repository, and
expanded the installation instructions at http://glmmadmb.r-forge.r-project.org
Do let me know (offline) if you have further trouble installing
glmmADMB even after these improvements.

  I have also recognized (finally) that at the moment the glmmADMB
binaries just won't run on OS 10.5 or earlier.  There are some instructions
on the web page now for brave souls who are willing to compile ADMB
from scratch in order to get glmmADMB working on such operating
systems ...
