Am I correct in thinking then that's it this old version of lme4  
that I have installed?  This version is from 14 October 2007 but I  
need this specific version for a course I'm taking.

Yes, it appears so. You cannot use such an old version (binary) with  
the current R. For the course it should not matter which version you  
are using.
If you feel brave, you can try to compile the old version from  
sources in the new R (download the source .tar.gz file and use R CMD  
INSTALL to install it). It may not work because old versions are not  
designed to work in new R versions, but you can try your luck if you  
really can't live with the new version.

Cheers,

You are picking up a very ancient binary for R 2.5.0 (as you can  
see from the error). Check your .libPath() for old package  
binaries and remove/reinstall them.

However, I can properly load lme4 from Aquamacs via ESS and from  
Terminal.  I get the same warnings just not the dyn.load() error.

Does anyone know what I need to do?

Thanks,
