Hi.

It's my first approach with R so don't be mad with me for the simple
question I'm going to make.

How do I connect to my Postgresql databases on my Debian Woody.
These are the r-* packages I've installed:

ii  r-base         1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R statistical computing language
and env
ii  r-base-core    1.8.0.cvs.2003 GNU R core of statistical computing
language
ii  r-base-dev     1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R installation of auxiliary GNU R
packag
ii  r-base-html    1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R html docs for statistical
computing sy
ii  r-base-latex   1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R LaTeX docs for statistical
computing s
ii  r-cran-coda    0.5-15-1       Output analysis and diagnostics for
MCMC sim
ii  r-cran-design  2.0.2-1        GNU R regression modeling strategies
tools b
ii  r-cran-gtkdevi 0.5.3.1-1      GNU R Gtk device driver package
ii  r-cran-hmisc   2.0.4-1        GNU R miscellaneous functions by Frank
Harre
ii  r-cran-mcmcpac 0.4-3-1        routines for Markov Chain Monte Carlo
model
ii  r-doc-pdf      1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R pdf manuals for statistical
computing
ii  r-gnome        1.8.0.cvs.2003 GNU R Gnome gui for statistical
computing sy
ii  r-noncran-lind 1.0.20031022-1 GNU R libraries contributed by Jim and
Patri
ii  r-omegahat-rgt 0.6.10-1       GNU R binding for Gtk
ii  r-recommended  1.5.1-0woody1  GNU R collection of recommended
packages


What am I missing?
Because, when I try library(RPgSQL) it tells me there is no such
library. Even when I try library() to list all libraries I don't get any
output that resembles sql or dbi or anything like that......
Does any one have any suggestions?

Thanks
