Hi Community:

I use a variety of computer platforms by necessity, including linux (ubuntu,
lucid).

I tried to install the package lmer with install.packages on ubuntu and only
got error messages telling me that it couldn't find lmer or something vague
like that.

I scoured the internet for advice... there was no comprehensive advice for
the solution....

So, I found something that worked for me on Ubuntu... Here it is, step by
step:

1. System > adminisration > synaptic
2. search for r-cran-lme4
3. check the box!
4. hit apply.

Then, in R:
> library( lme4 )

I hope this works for others.

All the best,
Phil Smith
