Trying to compile the package Matrix_0.9975-11.tar.gz with newest 
R-2.5.0 alpha (2007-03-31 r40986) on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT (i386) I get 
the following error:

-----
R CMD INSTALL Matrix_0.9975-11.tar.gz
* Installing to library '/usr/local/lib/R/library'
* Installing *source* package 'Matrix' ...
** libs
** arch -

"Makefile", line 14: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'Matrix'
** Removing '/usr/local/lib/R/library/Matrix'

Under FreeBSD I have installed the LAPACK package (3.0.2) with library 
at location

/usr/local/lib/liblapack.so.4

Is it possible that the Makefile of package Matrix fails because of that?

Any help is appreciated,
Rainer Hurling
