Hi Michael: I already tried reinstalling from with R on cran -- after checking on the status of LAPACK:

The error message during installation was: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack collect2: ld returned 1 exit status On Mon, 1 Mar 2010, Michael Rutter wrote: MR > Anne, MR > MR > The version of lme4 you find on the Hardy repositories is very old at this MR > point.
