That problem originates in the Matrix package.  You need to upgrade
the Matrix package to version 0.999375-3 for R-2.6.0.  After that the
installed version of lme4 will function properly.

I think this might be a version skew with the Matrix package.  Those
macros are defined in a file in the .../R/library/Matrix/include
directory that is added to the include path but you need a recent
version of the Matrix package to get those particular macros.
