[R-sig-ME] lme4a?

[glee]

> svn checkout svn://svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/lme4

I am behind a university firewall which (apparently) has port 3690
(svn:// default) blocked.

The nightly snapshot (linked from
http://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/?group_id=60) downloads ok, and
appears to build, but fails with

Error : package 'Matrix' 0.999375-37 was found, but >= 0.999375.38 is
required by 'lme4a'
ERROR: lazy loading failed for package ‘lme4a’

As far as I can see 0.999375-37 is the latest version available on CRAN.

Thanks for the suggestions. At least this path appears that it could
work, if I am able to satisfy dependencies. I will keep trying.
