[R] 5 arguments passed to .Internal(matrix) which requires 7

[Uwe Ligges]

You obviously have a combination from R code in package base and 
compiled C code of base R that do not match.

Point is that the "matrix" R code passes 7 arguments to the underlying 
.Internal code that should also expect 7 arguments. If just 5 are passes 
the R code is from an ancient version of R.

Try to clean up completely and reinstall.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
