What version of R are you running?  The message above suggests that you were running 2.12.0 when you installed the packages, but are not running it now. 

2.12.0 is not yet released, so were you testing a 'devel' version of R?

You will need to sort out your R versions and then make sure that you are running the proper version when both installing and loading the packages...

HTH,
