[R-sig-ME] lme4 and Matrix from R-forge

[Douglas Bates]

It seems to me that those messages are coming from the attempt to load
the Matrix package.  It looks a bit peculiar in that the compiled code
for the Matrix package is in the file Matrix.so and it is linked
against libRlapack.dylib.  That seems inconsistent.

If you have the necessary tools installed then I would recommend
installing the Matrix package from the source file.  I believe that
the version on CRAN and the source version on R-forge should both be
acceptable.
