I'll hazard a guess that perhaps you should update your installed packages. However, you ought to read the posting guide and provide the suggested information if you want better answers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....

Hi Giovanni, This is a dependency issue between lme4 and Matrix. There is substantial discussion of this on the R sig mixed models list. A simple update may fix the problem, or you may need to be a little bit more precise about getting version of Matrix and lme4 that work with each other.

Hi Josh, Thank you for your feedback, after lot of trial and error the problem is finally solved. To solve this problem, I tried in this order: 1) uninstalling the two packages "Matrix" and "lme4" and reinstalling them. 2) uninstalling doBy and reinstalling it with and without 1) 3) upgrading to the latest R version and re-doing 1) 2) And finally 4) wiped all R traces from my Mac OS X 10.7.2 and re-installed the latest version. The latest Matrix version seems to have changed in the meanwhile so I was lucky and now it works. It seems to me that the whole concept of dependency analysis for installing packages in R is broken ... seems like the packages depend only on the package name and not on the specific versions which is wrong as in this case, chances are that a user will say in this "live lock" where will never find a "happy together" versions of Matrix and lme4 ... but well, you statisticians know better about chances :P Thank you again.
