Thanks for that explanation. I was curious to know why it's so different from other packages I've had no trouble with. My problem did, indeed, arise from using an older version of lme4 with a new version of Matrix. Douglas's post explains why lme4_0.95-8.tar.gz is so much smaller than lme4_0.8-2.tar.gz. I feel much less confused now. Thank you Renaud Lancelot and Deepayan Sarkar also. -- Patrick Connolly HortResearch Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand Ph: +64-9 815 4200 x 7188 ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.
