[R-sig-ME] Something broken in lme4 after update?

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Douglas,

After updating the R packages I get on error when loading lme4. Error in
inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) : function
'cholmod_start' not provided by package 'Matrix' Error:
package/namespace load failed for 'lme4'

You'll find more detail below. This was run in a fresh R session. I have
lme4 version 0.999375-27 installed.

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.
