Yes.
Also, why are you trying to install a version of Matrix that is
clearly outdated?
(Is it because your version of R is similarly outdated, and
newer version of Matrix ask for relatively new versions of R) ?
seriously, please do use R 2.7.1 and then install
Matrix_0.999375-10 (which does require R >= 2.6.0 only).
Among many others, it has the nice feature that it *will* check
if you are using GNU make and complain in English (instead of
giving a pretty unhelpful error message later) if you don't use
GNU make.
Hoping, you'll enjoy "the Matrix",
