$ R --version
R 1.5.1 (2002-06-17).
$ /usr/local/pgsql/bin/psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2.1

repository? I didn't install this originally so I don't know where it 
came from. The chap that did has left

Perhaps  the R version is a little past its use-by, but if nobody has
ever seen the error before then upgrading isn't necessarily going to fix
it. It will be my next step if nobody can give me some idea of what
isn't working.
