Hi, I've been having issues installing Matrix on R. I never had issues in the past. I ran into issues when my installed version of Seurat updated to v5, which changes the assay type to Assay5. I would have to change a lot of my code to figure out how to work with Assay5 at this point, so I decided to downgrade Seurat to version 4.0.2 which worked perfectly fine before. Someone I work with has that version of Seurat and version 1.3.4 of Matrix, so I decided to install that version to be compatible. I have R version 4.2.3.
I ran this line and received the following error:
remotes::install_version("Matrix", version = "1.3.4", repos = "https://cran.r-project.org")
ld: warning: -single_module is obsolete

I also tried this, resulting in the same error:
packageurl <- "http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Matrix/Matrix_1.3-4.tar.gz"
install.packages(packageurl, repos=NULL, type="source")
I went to the CRAN repository and downloaded the matrix file onto my computer to try to upload it that way. I have permissions to read and write the file, but I still got the same errors as above.
install.packages("~/Downloads/Matrix_1.3-4.tar", repos = NULL, type = "source")
I would really appreciate any help as it shouldn't be this difficult to install a package that I've had downloaded in the past. Thank you!
