R help - Nov 2008 - R 2.8. and languageR

Hi,

I have been using the library languageR in R2.6.0 for some while.

I now would like to use new functions of this library (especially  
plotLMER.fnc) and have downloaded R 2.8.0.

Error messages appear when I load the languageR library (I have tried  
several times on different computers but this doesn't help.:
Attachement du package : 'Matrix'


         The following object(s) are masked from package:stats :

          xtabs


         The following object(s) are masked from package:base :

          colMeans,
          colSums,
          rcond,
          rowMeans,
          rowSums



I guess this is the reason why I cannot use the lmer function with  
this version of R.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help on this.

  These are warnings, not errors.
  Are you sure you are actually unable to use lmer, or are
you just being scared off by the warning messages?
Try typing sessionInfo() after you get the messages and
see whether Matrix, lme4, and languageR are in your
list of loaded packages.

  good luck
