Are you familiar with sessionInfo(), e.g.: sessionInfo() R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, i386-pc-mingw32 attached base packages: [1] methods stats graphics grDevices utils datasets [7] base other attached packages: lme4 latticeMatrix 0.98-1 0.12-11 0.99-6 This can almost eliminate the possibilities for typographical errors in specifying the version name. The posting guide (www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html) also asks posters to mention mention the platform (Windows2000, Linux, MacOS X).

[R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
I am currently using R 2.1.1 under Windows and I do not seem to be able to load the current versions of lme4/Matrix. I have run 'update.packages.' I understand this is still experimental software but I would like access to a working version. Thanks.

Re: [R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
Did you try upgrading to R 2.2.1? I just installed R 2.2.1 with the latest version of lme4 and Matrix, and they loaded fine for me. library(lme4) Loading required package: Matrix Loading required package: lattice sessionInfo() R version 2.2.1, 2005-12-20, i386-pc-mingw32 attached base packages: [1] methods stats graphics grDevices utils datasets [7] base other attached packages: lme4 latticeMatrix 0.98-1 0.12-11 0.99-6 Running Windows XP. (This may be obvious from 'i386-pc-mingw23', but I'm no sufficiently aware to know.) Doug Bates has worked very hard to create this, and I for one would not want to ask him to take the time to make it backward compatible for those who for whatever reason haven't yet upgraded to R 2.2.1, especially since for most of us it is fairly easy to upgrade.

Re: [R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
I made a typographical error, since I am running R 2.2.1. I wouldn't dream of asking Professor Bates to make things backwards compatible to an old version. Since the packages are loading fine for you, I will assume there was a download error with the packages I have, uninstall them, and try again.

Re: [R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
1) It was the Statlib mirror from which I was downloading. If I don't get any more interesting messages before I return to work in the morning, I'll try installing off of a different mirror. 2) On general principles, I just updated the lme4 related packages on the SuSE 10 machine that I run at home (NC mirror). That worked fine. Chuck -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Peter Dalgaard Sent: Thu 1/12/2006 4:56 PM Which CRAN mirror?

Re: [R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
Hi, all, This is interesting, since the problem I posted on a week ago was resolved by downloading (the current versions of) R and ctv from the Austria site; the UCLA site, from which I had downloaded before, had an old version of R labeled as the current version, and it was not compatible with the version of ctv that they had. Moral of story: It's not just the Statlib site that is (or at least can be) unreliable. Is it common knowledge that there are other mirrors which do not provide a very good reflection?

Re: [R] CRAN versions of lme4/Matrix don't appear to work with R 2.1.1
I don't know, but I had a similar problem a few weeks ago with the one or both of the California sites (I don't remember which now). The problems disappeared after I switched to http://cran.fhcrc.org/; (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA). spencer graves Mark Andersen wrote: Hi, all, This is interesting, since the problem I posted on a week ago was resolved by downloading (the current versions of) R and ctv from the Austria site; the UCLA site, from which I had downloaded before, had an old version of R labeled as the current version, and it was not compatible with the version of ctv that they had.
