I don't understand this at all. Yet another error? What error?

To check I tried to install lme4 from source.

I am using Lion 10.7.1 and  Xcode 4.1. gfortran from gfortran-lion-5666-3.pkg which installs gfortran into /usr/bin. And R 2..13.1 (2011-07-08). Blas library is linked to libRblas.dylib

R downloaded the latest Matrix source, compiled it and did the same for lme4.
No errors.

Loading lme4 and running example(lmer) went smoothly.
No errors at all.
