Dear R-Devel,
I've just tried to compile the fresh R-devel and found that the install

** help

Error in require(Matrix, save = FALSE) :
unused argument(s) (save = FALSE)
ERROR: installing package indices failed

Have you got the Matrix package from the appropriate 2.12/recommended
repository or installed via
make rsync-recommended
make recommended
In that case it works for me.
Uwe
possible reason: Matrix/data/*.R
News.Rd says:
The \code{save} argument of \code{require()} is defunct.

Re: [Rd] Matrix install fails because of defunct save in require
I'm not sure why end users would be using R-devel rather than R-alpha at this point, but I have already changed R-devel to allow Matrix to get updated before it fails. Warning: R-devel tends to be particularly unstable during the period when we are in alpha/beta/RC phases.

O.K., I'll wait a little bit longer in the future and many thanks for developing this great software. I think the advice in the Windows binary download page 'This is a development version of R. It likely contains bugs, so be careful if you use it. Please don't report bugs in this version through the usual R bug reporting system, please report them on the r-devel mailing list---but only if they persist for a few days.' is spot-on. It takes at least several hours, maybe a couple of days, for the package checks to reveal problems with changes in R-devel, especially platform-specific ones. ThPe -- Brian D.
