Merging of two data frames by variables with different names 
(using by.x and by.y) is no 
longer possible (it was possible in version 1.4.1). 
Call:

mvoteint.classd.matadd <- merge(
                            unique(mvoteint.classd),
                            unique(subset(dimens.mpp,
                                select=c(nation,year,mecode,
                                        econlrdiff,
                                        eeconlrdiff,
                                        welfdiff,
                                        labmiddiff,
                                        authlibdiff,
                                        authlibdiffn)
                            )),
                            by.x=c("nation","eyear","mvoteint"),
                            by.y=c("nation","year","mecode"),
                            all.x=TRUE,
                            sort=TRUE
                            )
