I have submitted another email into the list asking for the 2-15.2 version (sadly, I am not able to compile code in my working environment), but could it be that I am missing something ?
Dear Tolga,
just in case you are stuck using R 2.15.1 :
Prof Ripley (and others I think) told you on November 13 when this
thread started,
that you should just the version of Matrix that *comes* with
your version of R.
(and then do *not* update Matrix, because you might accidentally
get the one *compiled* with R 2.15.2 and hence only working there).
OTOH,
I'm pretty sure you'll find R 2.15.2 for 32-bit Windows rather
sooner than later, if you really want..
E.g. if you use our Swiss CRAN mirror,
http://cran.CH.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/
( which ==> http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/bin/windows/base/ )
shows 2.15.2 for download.
