Warning when loading spict

If there is a mismatch between the installed version of TMB and MATRIX, there is a warning when loading spict that should not be ignored. The warning looks like this:

Warning message: 
In checkMatrixPackageVersion(): Package version inconsistency detected. 
TMB was built with Matrix version 1.2.14 
Current Matrix version is 1.2.15 

Solution: Re-install TMB and then re-install spict, using:

install.packages("TMB", type = "source")
remotes::install_github("DTUAqua/spict/spict")
