[R-SIG-Mac] Latest version of lme4

[John Maindonald]

I've been unable to install the latest version of Matrix (0.98-3), and  
therefore lme4. As CRAN has no Mac binary more recent than 0.97-2, is  
this an indication that such an installation will require a modest  
amount of work?

The error message is:
