unable to load shared library (Symbol not found: _PQbackendPID)

Jeff,

| I can't get the RPostgreSQL library to load on OSX and have no idea  
| where it's going wrong...
| 
|  > library( RPostgreSQL )
| Error in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...) :
|    unable to load shared library '/Users/hamannj/Library/R/2.9/library/ 
| RPostgreSQL/libs/i386/RPostgreSQL.so':
|    dlopen(/Users/hamannj/Library/R/2.9/library/RPostgreSQL/libs/i386/ 
| RPostgreSQL.so, 6): Symbol not found: _PQbackendPID
|    Referenced from: /Users/hamannj/Library/R/2.9/library/RPostgreSQL/ 
| libs/i386/RPostgreSQL.so

| Error: package/namespace load failed for 'RPostgreSQL'

As you know, questions / complaints about contributed packages should go to
the maintainer first, i.e. me. Now, I do not have access to OS X -- but Neil
(CC'ed) kindly covers that angle.  Maybe the two of you can sort this out?

| I've used this on OSX before and have had to recently rebuild... does  
| anyone know if an older archive works?

The current version works for other on OS X as far as I know.
