[R] postgres

[Joshua Gramlich]

I'm actually looking at that exact page in the import/export manual
right now.  I'm trying to install RODBC via CRAN, but I get this:

....blahblahblah...
checking for library containing SQLTables... no
configure: error: "no ODBC driver manager found"
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'RODBC'

Delete downloaded files (y/N)? y

Warning message: 
Installation of package RODBC had non-zero exit status in:
install.packages("RODBC")

I tried installing unixODBC, but that didn't seem to solve the problem.

Thoughts?
