This won't so anything unless you remove the semi-colons from the start of
the lines, so it is good that you did (those are elisp comment markers).
I just use
(require 'mwheel)
and it works, however, I don't think this is your problem.  From your
error messages it sounds as if the mwheel package loaded fine.  Those are
what I would expect if X is not configured to work with a scroll mouse.
Do you have any other applications that work with it - terminals, web
browser, etc.?

You should have either

Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

for XFree86-4, or

ZAxisMapping  4 5

for XFree86-3 in the mouse section of your X config file.

Hope this helps.
