Hi,

I just installed version 2.11.1 on my Mac OS X 10.5.2. When I try 
running R from my xterm, I get the following error:

Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'lme4'
Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData

I am returned to the terminal prompt and can not run R. I can open this 
version of R from the R console and tried installing the lme4 source 
package (per D. Bates' suggestion on 6-July) but get the following error:

trying URL 'http://cran.cict.fr/src/contrib/lme4_0.999375-34.tar.gz'
Content type 'application/x-tar' length 1028012 bytes (1003 Kb)
opened URL
==================================================
downloaded 1003 Kb

* installing *source* package ‘lme4’ ...
** libs
*** arch - i386
sh: make: command not found
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘lme4’
* removing 
‘/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.11/Resources/library/lme4’

I do not need to use lme4 (though I would like to) but I do very much 
prefer to work from my xterminal and apparently can not do without lme4. 
Any suggestions appreciated!

Andrea
