[R-SIG-Mac] .... Matrix broken on Mac...

[Martin Maechler]

This was on the wrong mailing list (R-SIG-mixed-models),
but I strongly believe belongs here.

As one of the two maintainers of Matrix,
I'm very interested to here if really there are still/again
problems with the *R-forge* (or CRAN) version of Matrix on the Mac.

We have made several efforts, partially prompted and aided by
Simon Urbanek, to get the issues (mostly related to building a
"fat binary", IIRC) resolved.

Dave, did you install the R-forge version
with
	install.packages("Matrix",repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

{as it is recommended}?

Best regards,
Martin

Any ideas?  Anything else I can pass along?
