There's only one CRAN RODBC entry under Packages (version 1.1.3). That's the one I used. The 'Depends' line seems to indicate that it
should work with any version of R > 1.9.

Correct for the sources, but binaries must be compiled under the same major version for R that is used.



In any case, after I received the reply I went back to CRAN and took a
different path (under windows binaries) and located an earlier version
of RODBC (1.1.2).  When I tried that one I get this error:

Error in library(RODBC) : 'RODBC' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?

Aside from the Depends entry and the runtime error message there
doesn't seem to be any thing to indicate which version is appropriate
for R 2.0.1.

BTW, I'm on win 2000, if that would make a difference.

That one you get when calling install.packages("RODBC") in R-2.0.x is in CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/ for CRAN master this is currently: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.0/RODBC_1.1-3.zip

Hi, Please excuse these questions if they're obvious. I'm new to R.

I need to access a Postgres db from R.  I'm currently trying RODBC as
I spend part of my time on Windows and rdbi.pgsql seems not to support
windows at this time.

I unzipped the RODBC win binary download into my library directory and
tried to load it using

library(RODBC)

I get the following error:

Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) :   unable to
load shared library
"C:/PROGRA~1/R/rw2001/library/RODBC/libs/RODBC.dll":
 LoadLibrary failure:  The specified procedure could not be found.
In addition: Warning message:  package 'RODBC' was built under R version 2.1.0

So why don't you use the binary package from CRAN that has been compiled for you under R-2.0.1?

Uwe Ligges



Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace for 'RODBC'
Error in library(RODBC) : package/namespace load failed for 'RODBC'

The path correctly points to the dll. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

thanks.
