Hi everybody
I am trying to install RPsSQL and get the following error message:

As far as I know package RPgSQL is outdated. The newer package RPostgreSQL works with R-2.9.0 and greater. So it seems to be a good time to update your R version. In a few days R-2.10.0 is coming out ...

When I do ./configure form the untarred source directory I get

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for crypt in -lcrypt... no
No crypt function found

When I use the Package installer in R I get

install.packages("/Users/christiaanpauw/tmp/RPgSQL/", , NULL, type =
"source")
Warning in install.packages("/Users/christiaanpauw/tmp/RPgSQL/", , NULL,  :
  argument 'lib' is missing: using
'/Users/christiaanpauw/Library/R/2.8/library'
* Installing *source* package 'RPgSQL' ...
creating cache ./config.cache
checking for crypt in -lcrypt... no
No crypt function found

I have a threefold question

What is the crypt function, do I need it for the installation to work and if
so where do I get it?

The crypt function belongs to a system library 'libcrypt'. Depending on your system (linux?) it should be installed already. If not, you have to install it (outside of R, it is a system function).

Thanks in advance
Christiaan

Hope this helps,
Rainer
