I searched around and found

 "I just experienced (and solved) the same problem (presumably). The
  loadNameSpace routine/package/whatever was added as of R 2.5.0, my
  guess is that you use a version prior to that. The solution is of
  course to install 2.5.0 or later.

  (To find out your version, in the R console, type 'version' and look
  at minor (contains the last two digits of the version))

R 2.5.0 is released
"    o	message() has a new argument 'appendLF' to handle messages
	with and without newlines.  There is a new message class
	packageStartupMessage() that can be suppressed separately.
"
Do you have an older R version installed?
