[R-sig-DB] Error in connecting R to Postgre

[krisan haria]

Hi

I have the following version of R installed

R version 3.0.0

I'm trying to connect this to PostGre Version 1.16.1

I have loaded the package RPostgreSQL

I have then tried to run the following

> drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
> drv
<PostgreSQLDriver:(8568)>
> con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="postgres")
Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
  RS-DBI driver: (could not connect PLAYER using local on dbname "postgres"
)

Any idea on what is causing this error?
