包‘RPostgreSQL’不可用(对于R版本2.13.1)？

Question

我正在尝试安装"RPostgreSQL“包(使用R 2.13.1，Mac Leopard)。

当我运行install.packages("RPostgreSQL")时，我得到这个错误：

In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
  package ‘RPostgreSQL’ is not available (for R version 2.13.1)

所以我尝试从源代码下载，并运行r CMD INSTALL RPostgreSQL_0.1-7.tar.gz，它似乎安装得很好，但当我调用library(RPostgreSQL)时，我得到了这个错误：

`Error: package 'RPostgreSQL' is not installed for 'arch=i386'`

因此，我随机尝试重新运行r CMD INSTALL RPostgreSQL_0.1-7.tar.gz，它似乎也安装得很好，但是当我调用library(RPostgreSQL)时，我得到了一个略有不同的错误

'RPostgreSQL' is not a valid installed package

知道出什么问题了吗？是不是最新版本的R不支持这个包，所以我应该降级我的R版本(我想，通过卸载我当前的版本并找到一个旧版本？)如果我想用它的话？

该包不是基于CRAN构建的。请参阅CRAN page for details，它指示MacOS X二进制文件不可用。程序包安装失败。以下是安装日志：

您应该联系包维护者以获取更多信息。

RPostgreSQL repo on Google Code有关于installing RPostgreSQL on Mac OS X的清晰文档，我建议您从那里开始。

Neil还试图保持这些更新，因此，如果由于任何原因，这对你来说失败，你可以随时来Google Groups mailing list。
