Hi, I have installed RODBC on FreeBSD 4.9 and I am using the PostgreSQL ODBC Driver that is distributed with unixODBC 2.2.8. I can access ODBC Data Sources from Open Office so I think that everything is properly installed. When I installed RODBC I had to set export LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib so that R could locate my ODBC manager. I do not have any problems opening database connections and qurey tables. However, when I try and close a connection I get the following warning:
odbcClose(channel)
R.bin in free(): warning: chunk is already free Is this something that I need to worry about ?
Yes. We've seen problems with that PostgreSQL driver, and I think you need to use the one that is distributed by the psqlodbc project (as described in the RODBC README file!).
