[R-sig-DB] [RPostgreSQL] Fails to Load

[james]

Reposting a message I posted on the R-help list.

|Hi List,
| 
| Running R 2.10.1 on a fresh install of Windows 7. I get the following 
| error when loading the RPostgreSQL package.
| 
| 
|  >library(RPostgreSQL)
| Loading required package: DBI
| Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
|   unable to load shared library 
| 'C:/Users/james/Documents/R/win-library/2.10/RPostgreSQL/libs/RPostgreSQL.dll':
|   LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.
| 
| Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RPostgreSQL'
| 
| 
| I have reinstalled the RPostgreSQL package from several different 
| mirrors and reinstalled R, and the error remains. I know that 
| RPostgreSQL depends on libpq.dll and others, so I downloaded and 
| installed Postgres, then copied the contents of PostgreSQL\8.4\lib to 
| the RPostgreSQL library 
| (C:/Users/james/Documents/R/win-library/2.10/RPostgreSQL/libs/)
|
