[R-sig-ME] lme4

[Phillip Alday]

Again, I suspect that the problem is the lack of a Fortran compiler for
Apple Silicon. What is the output of version in R?

For example, mine looks like:

> version
               _
platform       x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
arch           x86_64
os             linux-gnu
system         x86_64, linux-gnu
status
major          4
minor          0.5
year           2021
month          03
day            31
svn rev        80133
language       R
version.string R version 4.0.5 (2021-03-31)
nickname       Shake and Throw
