lme4 + R 2.11.0 + mac unavailable

I had a similar problem installing lme4 on my mac in R 2.12.1.  The
information on this thread helped me troubleshoot the problem, but I arrived
at a different solution.

When I tried to load lme4 from the source as advised by one author, it
failed and I got an error message regarding the package 'Matrix' (see below
if you're interested).  Before diving in on some of the other suggestions to
deal with the Matrix issue, I simply got the 'Matrix' package I already had
installed going, and then installed lme4 successfully.

library(Matrix)
install.packages("lme4")

That did the trick.
