I suddenly started getting the error message below.
Not sure why.? If I type intalled.packages() it
shows Matrix and lme4 installed.? Can someone tell 
what's going on and what I need to do to remedy the
problem?? I'm running on a Linux box.

It all looks up to date to me. The only one we can't see is lme4
(because it won't load) so could you also give us

installed.packages()[c("lme4","nlme","Matrix"),c(2,3,12)]

Beyond that, can you give your linux distro and installation details?
It might be necessary to punt this to the R-Debian or R-Fedora lists
if there starts to seem something fishy upstream.

Cheers,

Michael

Here's the info Michael Weylandt requested:
?????? LibPath?????????????????? Version?????? Built?? 
lme4?? "/usr/lib/R/site-library" "0.999375-40" "2.13.1"
nlme?? "/usr/lib/R/library"????? "3.1-104"???? "2.15.0"
Matrix "/usr/lib/R/library" ?????"1.0-6"?????? "2.15.0"

Looks like I have lme4 for version 2.13 rather than 2.15.? Am
I reading this right?? I didn't install this and I'm not a Linux
person so someone will have to tell me the command to 
obtain the Linux information requested.? Then maybe I can
figure whether to go to the Debian board or not.

Yes, it does look like lme4 is rather out of date and I hope that
should solve your problem: install.packages("lme4") should clear that
up.

However, it's not a terrible idea to just give your whole library a
good spring cleaning (if you have the time) with a solid

update.packages(checkBuilt = TRUE, ask = FALSE)
# Check all packages for having new versions on CRAN or having been
built under an older version of R
# ask = FALSE means you don't have to manually approve each update
