[VM] trouble starting vm in emacs 23

[Michael]

Running Emacs 23.4.1 on Debian testing. Downloaded bbdb 3 and vm-8.2.0b.
When trying to start vm with M-x vm, I get the following:
symbol's value as variable is void: bbdb-define-all-aliases-field

This is a new install of emacs, bbdb, and vm...nothing carried over from previous version.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Thanks!

btw- I have bbdb working on gnus.
