[whoops, first sent this from my current email, which the listserv 
didn't recognize.  apologies if this comes through twice.]

Doug--

You had inquired whether anyone else was having problems with Matrix on
a Mac... yep.  I am.  You'll see below that I removed both lme4 and
Matrix, re-install from r-forge, but get an error msg.  sessionInfo() at
bottom.

Could someone point me to an earlier version of Matrix?  I don't believe
I had this problem prior to the most recent update.

cheers, Dave

Does

library(Matrix)

without any reference to lme4 work for you?

The other person who was having difficulty loading the Matrix package
on a Mac was able to resolve the problem although I forget the details
of how it was resolved.

The messages indicate that the problem is more with Matrix than with lme4.

No, if I start a fresh R session and call Matrix on its own, I get:

Any ideas?  Anything else I can pass along?
