Sounds like you don't have a version Matrix installed from source for 2.4.0. As mentioned earlier on this list, the caching mechanism has changed for methods, and all packages need to be installed from source to get the correct objects.
Works fine for me with an installation of Matrix from source (version 0.995-15). Try something like this: > objects("package:Matrix", all=TRUE, pattern = "Schur") [1] ".__M__Schur:Matrix" ".__T__Schur:Matrix" "Schur" You should see two weirdly named objects, plus the function Schur().
