Dear R: Am I having trouble downloading the LME4 library. I am using Windows and am using ver 1.7 I have tried the following: 1) Install package from CRAN, but LME4 is not listed 2) Downloaded LME4 from http://cran.us.r-project.org/, however, I cannot open the file when I try install from local drive. I get the following error: Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning messages: 1: error 1 in extracting from zip file 2: cannot open file `lme4_0.3-7.tar.gz/DESCRIPTION' Any help is appreciated. ------ Harold C.

I don't think there is a compiled version of this library, so you will have to compile and install yourself. See question 3.1 of the R for Windows FAQ. In addition, the fact that there is not a compiled version on CRAN may indicate a problem with this package on Windows. HTH, Jim James W.

I used a function that will be available in R-1.8.0 but not in R-1.7.1 I have another version that does install successfully under R-1.7.1 but does not install under R-1.8.0 (beta). I'm going to try to isolate the problem later today. Even if I am not successful in getting it to load under 1.8.0 I will upload it for 1.7.1 and work on the 1.8.0 problem before the release of 1.8.0. Short reply: There should be a Windows version on CRAN within 3 days.> 2) Downloaded LME4 from http://cran.us.r-project.org/, however, I cannot open the file when I try install from local drive.

The last working versions of these packages can be found in subdirectory ./last" And indeed, you will find a file http://cran.us.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/1.7/last/lme4_0.3-6.zip> 2) Downloaded LME4 from http://cran.us.r-project.org/, however, I cannot open the file when I try install from local drive.

You have to compile source packages before using them... Uwe Ligges> Any help is appreciated. > > > > ------ > Harold C. Doran > Director of Research and Evaluation > New American Schools > 675 N.
