It is Matrix, not matrix ....
I too have corresponded with them about this. It seems to be a legacy
from when the package contained C++ code, and can now be deleted.

Hi,
The recommended package matrix contains an empty file src/dummy.cpp
which results in using g++ instead of gcc to link Matrix.so.
What is the reason for that? Is there any difference between using g++
or gcc? (There are no other cpp files in the source)
I asked the maintainers of the package (matrix-auth...@r-project.org)
3 weeks ago but haven't received any answer.
On my system (NixOS Linux distribution, http://nixos.org) I can't
compile package Matrix unless this file is deleted.
Most likely you have not installed the C++ compiler (which is usually
g++ on Linux) -- but you shouldn't need to in order to install R.
Thank you very much,
