Prof Ripley, Thanks for the first reply. Yes, I am using windows xp. The problem that I am facing is: I want to use RPostgreSQL and xtable packages together. R 2.11.1 has RPostgreSQL but not xtable. R 2.12.2 has xtable but not RPostgreSQL. I suppose there should be some way to use RPostgreSQL with R 2.12.2. Sorry if I am sounding naïve, but How do I do the compilation that you just mentioned? With your suggestion I went through RW-FAQs , posting guide. I ended up at the this page: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.12/ReadMe That says: ' Packages related to many database system must be linked to the exact version of the database system the user has installed, hence it does not make sense to provide binaries for packages ' PostgreSQL 9.0 is installed on my system which I am trying to integrate with R 2.12.2. Please throw some light on what can be done.

In any case, RPostgreSQL is (like RMySQL) not distributed in binary form, and you need to compile it from the sources against your PostgreSQL version (which does matter, including the compiler used to build it). This is all covered in the rw-FAQ, if this is Windows (see the posting guide).
