I'm starting to seriously use R and have tried to solve this issue using my reference books but I'm missing something simple. Running R-2.13.1 on Slackware-13.1.
Trying to invoke RPostgreSQL so I can copy data from a postgres table to an R data-frame. I installed RPostgreSQL and the library() command shows it's present: Packages in library '/home/rshepard/R/i486-slackware-linux-gnu-library/2.13': DBI R Database Interface RPostgreSQL R interface to the PostgreSQL database system Yet, trying to load it fails:
library(RPostgreSQL)
Loading required package: DBI Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) : unable to load shared object '/home/rshepard/R/i486-slackware-linux-gnu-library/2.13/RPostgreSQL/libs/RPostgreSQL.so': libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RPostgreSQL' The shared library, of course, is present: [rshepard@salmo ~/R/i486-slackware-linux-gnu-library/2.13/RPostgreSQL/libs]$ ll -rwxr-xr-x 1 rshepard users 44385 2011-08-03 20:13 RPostgreSQL.so* Can someone explain to me what's going on and how I fix it?
