emacro fails to load

I'm running Debian linux etch/testing, emacs21 21.4, emacro 2005-9 

When I attempt to start emacs, I get an error message at the bottom on the emacs window stating;

Wrong type argument: sequencep, emacs21

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error

When I comment out this item in my .emacs file, emacs starts with no problems;

(require 'e-macro)

Not sure how to correct this. I'm pretty sure I have followed the install instructions to a "T", but not really sure at this point in time.
