[R-sig-ME] [R-SIG-Mac] installing lme4.0 on OS X 10.9

Mon Feb 10 19:08:29 CET 2014

Roger does not seem to have a working Fortran compiler which is required for lme4. He may want to install one, e.g. from
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

BTW: please don't point people to obsolete SO posts - the proper cure to most Mavericks problems is to simply install more recent build of R.

Cheers,
Simon
