I can reproduce the problem using the following minimal example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{SIunits}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

No. I just says that the command \square is already defined probably
due to the amssymb package. This is a wild guess by the SIunits
package and wrong in this case: the symbol is defined in amsfonts.sty
you're loading.

Please read the help better. It says:
Hint: use option `amssymb' or `squaren' with SIunits package. See
SIunits.dvi or readme.txt section: Known problems and limitations.
i.e. these `amssymb' and `squaren' are options for the SIunits
package. After replacing "\usepackage{SIunits}" by
"\usepackage[amssymb]{SIunits}" my minimal example at least compiles
fine.
