I'm trying to read data a program produces in matrixmarket array format
into R and its giving me fits. I've tried read.MM (below) and readMM (from
the Matrix package) but neither works. One of them says array format isn't
supported, the other reports something indecipherable about Fortran.

Here's the file contents. Can't get much simpler than that!

%%MatrixMarket matrix array real general
%This file contains LIBFM global mean which is required for computing
predictions.

Can someone please help? Seems such a simple problem.

library(spam)
Spam version 0.29-2 (2012-08-17) is loaded.
Type 'help( Spam)' or 'demo( spam)' for a short introduction
and overview of this package.
Help for individual functions is also obtained by adding the
suffix '.spam' to the function name, e.g. 'help( chol.spam)'.
Attaching package: ???spam???
The following object(s) are masked from ???package:base???:

x=read.MM("/Users/brad/Dropbox/graphchi/2008.csv_global_mean.mm")
Error in read.MM("/Users/brad/Dropbox/graphchi/2008.csv_global_mean.mm")
:
   invalid mode (list) to pass to Fortran (arg 8)
If read.MM does not work and you are sure about the file location and it 
is in the right format, send an example file that reproduced the error 
to the maintainer of the package with the broken import function (or 
right away  patched version of the broken function).

Isn't it still being queued for approval? Can't tell from this end.

Your mail to 'R-help' with the subject

     Help reading matrixmarket files

Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.

The reason it is being held:

     Post to moderated list
The approval happened before, obviously, if you were not on the list 
yourself. There is no need to ask for that separately and generate even 
more traffic.

Best,
