[R-sig-ME] lmer not working

[Steve Walker]

Hi Georgina,

I agree with Thierry that sessionInfo() would be very useful, 
particularly given that this particular issue has been known to occur 
_only_ for R version 3.0.0 (e.g. 3.0.1 is fine).  The following links 
may be helpful:

https://github.com/lme4/lme4/issues/54

So unfortunately you might need to just update R.

Cheers,
Steve
