R devel - Sep 2013 - R CMD check fails in R-devel r63910

Hi,

The R CMD check is successful in R 3.0.1 but fails to install package
lmerTest under R-devel r63910, 
Here is what I get:

** preparing package for lazy loading
Error in reconcilePropertiesAndPrototype(name, slots, prototype,
superClasses,  : 
  no definition was found for superclass "merMod" in the specification
of
class "merModLmerTest"

In DESCRIPTION file I have:
Depends:  Matrix, stats, methods, lme4
Imports: numDeriv, MASS, Hmisc, gplots, pbkrtest

I have classes.R file where I specify that "merModLmerTest" class
should
inherit "merMod":

merModLmerTest <- setClass("merModLmerTest", contains =
"merMod")

But it seems like in R devel r63910 this line cannot be seen...

This error I have seen for a few days

Alexandra

The line you point out below isn't relevant to this error: it's saying
it can't find a definition of merMod and that it knows you meant to define
one since it's part of merModLmerTest.

Which would be trouble if you don't define "merMod" elsewhere.

This seems to be nothing to do with R-devel, which has none of those 
classes.

Note that the versions of lme4 currently offered by CRAN for R 3.0.1 and 
R-devel are different.  I expect that is the root of the confusion, 
although as far as I know the one with class "merMod" is the one for 
R-devel.

But the posting guide applies: you have not supplied the 'at a minimum' 
information asked for nor a reproducible example.
