Not for your obsolete version of R. The current version has Depends: R (>= 2.5.1), stats, methods, utils, lattice as you can see at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/Matrix.html I suggest you update your R (as did the posting guide), but if you don't want to do that you can look on the CRAN Archive at http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/M/ to find an older version you can install by 'R CMD INSTALL'. > When I try to install it (from any mirror), I get the following error message: > > install.packages("Matrix",lib="/home/kn52/R-2.5.0/library") > > Warning message: > package 'Matrix' is not available in > install.packages("Matrix",lib="/home/kn52/R-2.5.0/library") > > Other packages work fine.
