[R] Problem of lmer under FreeBSD

[ronggui]

Dear Rainer,

Thanks for your suggestion.

The problem lies in the Matrix package. I installed it under R-2.5.0.
When I upgraded R to R-2.6.0, I didn't upgrade all the add-on
packages. I reinstall Matrix and lme4 packages, things are going fine.

Regards

Ronggui HUANG
