[R] no package 'Matrix' at the repositories

[Liaw, Andy]

If you are installing from Windows, the current version of Matrix apparently
doesn't build automatically on Windows.  See:

http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.3/check/Matrix-check.log

(That's for R-devel.  There're similar problems on R-2.2.0.)

I'm sure Doug is aware of this...

and here:

http://cran.us.r-project.org/src/contrib/Matrix_0.99-1.tar.gz

at least.  These are the only two I checked.
