[R] Problem building R 2.10.0 - Matrix package

[Thomas Adams]

Martin,

That's exactly right. I'm simply building R from source, downloaded from 
CRAN, and doing exactly what I have easily been able to do previously. I 
think I first encountered this problem with version 2.9.2 (if memory 
serves…).
