[Bioc-devel] Problem loading Rdbi (again)

Hi Benno,

After successfully installing and using Rdbi (1.12.0, on R 2.6.0) 
yesterday, I started getting error messages when trying to load the 
library today (... cyclic dependencies ...).
    

On my system 'library(Rdbi)' is desperately quiet ;-)

It's hard to believe that Rdbi has a circular dep problem since it depends
on nothing except R >= 1.2. What message do you get _exactly_? and after doing
what? Please show us the full session.

Also, we need your sessionInfo(). Here is mine:

  

sessionInfo()

other attached packages:

I thought I had a clean R when doing:

Lade n?tiges Paket: Rdbi

then I noticed the first line and wanted to make sure it was. After

rm (list=ls())

library(Rdbi)

is quiet as it should be... although I seem to have to load RdbiPgSQL 
manually -

    primer.conn <- dbConnect(PgSQL(),
                             host='localhost',
                             dbname='primer')

yields

Fehler in dbConnect(PgSQL(), host = "localhost", dbname = "primer") :
  konnte Funktion "PgSQL" nicht finden

But I can live with that ...

Thanks for helping me remove the culprit - whatever it may have been
