[R-sig-DB] [R] [R-pkgs] New package RPostgreSQL 0.1.0

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi,
A reply to a request by Sebastian P. Luque about an "r-cran-rpostgresql"
package in Debian (this may interest other users, I hope):


I'm not sure on Debian, but on Ubuntu compilation on the fly is very
easy (tested on Hardy 8.04, 64 bits):

#You need this in /etc/apt/sources.list (for Hardy 8.04)
deb http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy/
deb-src http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/ubuntu hardy/

#THen you have R 2.8.1. Then, in order to compile:
$ sudo  apt-get update
$ sudo  apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-8.3

$ sudo /usr/lib/R/bin/R
> install.packages("RPostgreSQL")

Thanks to all who contributed to RPostgreSQL !

Cheers,
Mayeul

Hi,

This is great!  Any chance we'll see an r-cran-rpostgresql package in
Debian?


Cheers,
