[R] changes in the structure of mer objects?

Dear all,

I try to run the example of lmer and get the following error message.
> library(lme4)
> example(lmer)lmer> (fm1 <- lmer(Reaction ~ Days + (Days | Subject), sleepstudy))
[[1]]
Error in get(x, envir, mode, inherits) : variable "as.dpoMatrix" was
not
found

This error message is similar to what I get with other models. It looks
like the mer class has a slightly different structure. Anybody an idea how
to solve this?


I am using R 2.4.1 under linux and the latest releases of lme4 and Matrix

lme4_0.9975-10
Matrix_0.9975-8

[R] changes in the structure of mer objects?

Hi Joris,

I suspect you somehow load an older version lme4 or Matrix than
you think you are loading.
Or then you have an lmer() function or a class definition 
{from a saved workspace ????}
in your work space.

example(lmer) *must* run correctly for the 'lme4' package to get
onto CRAN at all,
hence it must be unique to your setup.

Maybe as a first step,
run R as "R --vanilla" ?

yes, or with more input but less output

   packageDescription("lme4")$Version

Further note

	sessionInfo()

which gives you all versions of all attached packages and more
and which is really *the* thing to be used in such
problem-report e-mails.
