That's good.  I expect RdbiPgSQL will work with 7.4.8 (not sure, but I
think your problem lies elsewhere).

Did you try via biocLite?  It might fail, but that failure might give
us some clues.

Can you look at the output of 

"ldd /awips/rep/lx/local_apps/R/lib/R/library/RdbiPgSQL/libs/RdbiPgSQL.so"

both from the command line where you successfully built/installed
RdbiPgSQL and from inside R using the system() command?
