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As far as I know package RPgSQL is outdated.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
