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,
S
