[R] lme4 install trouble

[David Reitter]

After upgrading to R 2.6.0, I'm having trouble running lmer:

model <-  lmer(primed ~ log(dist.time)*role + 1|target.utt,   
data=data.utts)
Error in UseMethod("as.logical") : no applicable method for "as.logical"

So I thought I'd upgrade lme4 to the latest version, but  
unfortunately the compilation fails - perhaps there's a missing  
#include:

R CMD INSTALL -l ~/usr/lib/R lme4_0.99875-8.tar.gz

I've installed Matrix_0.999375-3 and lattice_0.16-5.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
