Absolutely no errors at all! LaTeX is just informing you that it will  
use Lucida fonts instead of the default Computer Modern: that's all  
the Infos.

And the couple of warnings shouldn't be really: it's telling you that  
it will use T1 encoding (as it should) instead of the old OT1 (which  
is still the default encoding to LaTeX). Lucida doesn't work with OT1  
encoding, but only with LY1 and T1, so it's doing the right thing.

You can use Adobe Reader to see that your document is in fact using  
the Lucida fonts (I'm sure it is): open your document in Reader and,  
in the File menu, choose Properties...; in the window that opens  
choose the Fonts tab: there you'll see the fonts your document uses.

(If you still don't have it, remember Adobe Reader is free.)

Best,

Axel
