emacs 21.4 and erc 5.3. Error during loading.

[PawelCarqowski]

Hallo Group Members
I have extracted erc to ~/erc-5.3

my ~/.emacs contains only 2 lines:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/erc-5.3")
(require 'erc)

after running emacs I have following message in *Messages* buffer. M-x erc is not available of course.

ERC: The function `defvaralias' is not bound.  See the NEWS file for variable name changes since ERC 5.0.4.


An error has occurred while loading `/home/mkwap/.emacs':

error: "Unknown req `min-colors' with options `(88)'"

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


Did You experience such problems?

I am running GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2005-05-18 on decompose.build.redhat.com

The problem does not occur on erc 5.2 and the same emacs of course (21.4.1).
