Sorry, I answered too quickly. The problem according to the link
you provided has to do with whether the driver is installed properly.
After the part about the 'unopkg list', I found this statement:
Using the --shared option will install the driver for all users.
Then start the OpenOffice.org Base program ./sbase. In the upcoming
dialog choose the option connect to an existing database. In the
combobox should appear postgresql (if the it is not there, the
installation of the driver has failed).
It is the last statement that leads me to believe the driver was
only partially installed.
