   The development version is not building on R forge at the moment 
apparently due to some small Rcpp/minqa glitch (sigh). However ...
the very latest development version is now hosted on github:

library(devtools)
install_github("lme4",user="lme4")

should work, *if* you have installed (1) the necessary dependencies
(Rcpp, RcppEigen, Matrix, minqa) (2) the necessary tools for
building a package from source [which are typically present
on MacOS machines, I think?]
