Hi all,

My Mac laptop died and I am now reinstalling all my packages from scratch.  Previously I was using lme4_0.999999-2 and I figure that with a fresh install, I might as well install lme4.0 instead.  But I am having trouble compiling it:

> install.packages("lme4.0", repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org",type="source")
trying URL 'http://r-forge.r-project.org/src/contrib/lme4.0_0.999999-4.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-gzip' length 772384 bytes (754 Kb)

* installing *source* package ‘lme4.0’ ...
** libs
llvm-gcc-4.2 -arch x86_64 -std=gnu99 -I/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/include -DNDEBUG  -I/usr/local/include -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/Matrix/include" -I"/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.0/Resources/library/stats/include"   -fPIC  -mtune=core2 -g -O2  -c init.c -o init.o
/bin/sh: llvm-gcc-4.2: command not found


This happens even after I install Xcode and also llvm-gcc42 on MacPorts; 

Does anyone have any suggestions?  FWIW:

> sessionInfo()
R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit)

locale:
[1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base     

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):
[1] tools_3.0.2


I’ve also tried installing from the command line; this bottoms out in a different error:

$ R CMD build lme4.0
…
<snip>
…
ld: warning: directory not found for option ‘-L/usr/local/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.2.3/x86_64’

ld: library not found for -lgfortran
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [lme4.so] Error 1


More generally, I’m having trouble figuring out what I should install in order to be able to compile lme4.0 from source.

Best & many thanks in advance for any guidance,

Roger Levy
