I just asked about this on gnu.emacs.help -- Calc broke for emacs 19.
However, I was told of 'calc-2.02a' which Archie found for me. There
is also a 'calc-2.02b' which appears to be another small fix. Get one
of these instead.
(Apparently calc-3.0 will really support Emacs 19+, while 2.02[ab] is
just a bit of a kludge.)
