It's not clear from your mail whether you have updated your lme4 after updating Matrix, but if you haven't, that is almost certainly the problem. Thanks Deepayan. I was about to write the same thing. Perhaps I can add a bit more explanation. As Deepayan mentioned, the versions of the lme4 package are closely linked to the versions of the Matrix package. The R code for lmer is in the lme4 package but the corresponding C code is in the Matrix package where it can gain access to other C functions for sparse matrix manipulation. When we create a release of the lme4 package we can specify the earliest version of the Matrix package that will work with it. However, unless we become psychic or gain access to a time machine, we can't specify the last version of Matrix that will work with this version of lme4. What you are seeing is an older version of lme4 looking for exported functions that have been removed from a later version of the Matrix package. There are several possible ways to resolve this difficulty but all of them are undesirable to some extent. For the time being we will just recommend that you install the latest versions of lme4 and Matrix simultaneously. __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

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.

[R] lme4 package and importIntoEnv errors
I've used packages for some years now and seldom had any trouble using the tgz files. Now I've come across something I've never seen before. version _ platform i686-pc-linux-gnu arch i686 os linux-gnu system i686, linux-gnu status major2 minor1.0 year 2005 month04 day 18 language R library(lme4) Loading required package: methods Loading required package: Matrix Loading required package: latticeExtra Error in importIntoEnv(impenv, impnames, ns, impvars) : objects coef, coef-, corMatrix, matrix-, pdFactor, pdMatrix are not exported by 'namespace:Matrix' Error: package/namespace load failed for 'lme4' The Matrix and latticeExtra were downloaded and installed yesterday and the methods is what came with R-2.1.0. I notice in the archives someone had a very similar problem with version 2.0.1 and Windows in January this year, but there's no further mention that I found. That one seems to have been fixed with new Matrix and latticeExtra packages. However, I'm using newer ones already. So I thought it might have to do with 2.1.0 rebreaking something. 'CHANGES IN R VERSION 2.1.0 patched' doesn't make any mention of importIntoEnv, so I figured patching wasn't likely to make a difference. I also figured that latticeExtra is not likely to be as buggy as that. The only thing I can think of that would be slightly non-standard about my installation is the fact that I install packages (in addition to the recommended ones) in a different place from the normal ones. Could that be a source of error on this system? Alternatively, is there anything I could do about this namespace business? best -- Patrick Connolly HortResearch Mt Albert Auckland New Zealand Ph: +64-9 815 4200 x 7188 ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~ I have the world`s largest collection of seashells.
