Re: [R] RPostgreSQL: unable to load shared library
I am trying the same as the post above and the actual error is:
the ordinal 284 could not be located in the dynamic link library
SSLEAY32.dll
I searched for that dll and it is not to be found. windows forums provide
vague directions to reinstall Windows, which I cannot do because this is a
company PC and IT will be happy to tell me that's why open source programs
are not supported and not encouraged.
any suggestions are appreciated.

That is not what it says: it says it cannot *load* the DLL. You need
the PostgreSQL client dll in your path, and I guess that (or its
version) is the problem. (Usually Windows gives you a popup with more
information, and indeed on my laptop it told me LIBPQ.DLL could not be
found.) And pedump suggests that it is linked against entry points by
number not name, a very fragile arrangement.
I always worry that packages that link to external DLLs can be very
dependent on the version of that DLL (and see the above comment). I
could not see a description of the version of PostgreSQL used on Uwe's
ReadMe (assuming this is a binary from CRAN), and suggest (as did the
rw-FAQ) that you install RPostgreSQL from source against your own
PostgreSQL installation. (That's what I do on my Windows desktop
which does have PostgreSQL installed, and when I updated PostgreSQL I
had to re-install PostgreSQL )
to fix this? I don't suppose DLL should be directly in my PATH, right?
Thanks for any hints,
Arnout

Re: [R] RPostgreSQL: unable to load shared library
Thanks, Brian and Joe, for the explanations. The libpq DLL was indeed
the problem.
FYI, it seems to load fine using the PostgreSQL 8.4 libpq.gll, if
further testing reveals problems I'll report it back.

Thanks for any hints, I don't use Windows, much, but if I recall correctly the DLLs do need to be visible in your PATH, including other DLLs loaded by this one. Which brings me to my other thought -- RPostgreSQL depends on libpq, so I wonder if you have installed the PostgreSQL client?
