lme4 and Matrix from R-forge

Just curious, maybe Simon Urbanek will know,
but why is version 2.6 showing in the R.framework
path when you are running R 2.7.0?

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/lib/libRlapack.dylib

It seems to me that those messages are coming from the attempt to load
the Matrix package.  It looks a bit peculiar in that the compiled code
for the Matrix package is in the file Matrix.so and it is linked
against libRlapack.dylib.  That seems inconsistent.

If you have the necessary tools installed then I would recommend
installing the Matrix package from the source file.  I believe that
the version on CRAN and the source version on R-forge should both be
acceptable.

It is possible I have corrupted my installation; I first tried to install
Matrix_0.999375-10.tgz with the CRAN version of lme4 installed,
then tried to go back to the CRAN version of Matrix.  My version
of lme4 is lme4_0.999375-14.tgz
