ok. So kdesu is broken. Meik, do you remember wether this used to work? I believe so, but I'm not sure any more. > Next, we tried to switch to the suggested user specific directory > '/Users/*username*/.rkward/library'.

Ok, I can replicate the problem (your variant of the error message), if (and only if) installing the package as a binary. I.e. checking RKWard- >Preferences->R packages->Build packages from source, then re-installing lme4 fixes the problem. The binary package also fails when trying to load it in a plain R console. You may recall that we had to add support for installing binary packages, explicitly: http://www.mail-archive.com/rkward-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01826.html Now it seems that the version of R shipped by Macports (and thus inside of our installation bundle) does not support the binaries from CRAN. > Any ideas what's going on here?

I did my testing on 10.6.8. The likely difference is the R installation. Could you check for differences in the output of "R.version" on the machines where it works, and where it does not work? Were the computers where this works installed by the same method (installation bundle, I assume)? Meik, do you already have an installation based on port:R-framework, instead of port:R? Could you test that? In essence, on the R console, do install.packages ("lme4", type="mac.binary.leopard") library (lme4) Regards Thomas
