Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : expired manager

[no...@vicomtech.org]

Hi all,

I have a piece of code to connect to a postgresql DB that was working fine until now. The code is simple:

    library("RPostgreSQL")
    drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")   
    con <- dbConnect(drv, host=myhost, dbname=somename, user=someuser, password=somepassword)


But after that last line I get an error:

    Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) : expired manager


I think my software update program has recently updated R.

Has something changed in R that now I can't connect?

My OS is Ubuntu 14.04. Current R version: R version 3.3.0 (2016-05-03) -- "Supposedly Educational"

Thank you very much for any help!

Regards,
Noelia

Load the PostgreSQL driver using :

drv<-dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
