Error in connecting R to Postgre

Hi

I have the following version of R installed

R version 3.0.0

I'm trying to connect this to PostGre Version 1.16.1

I have loaded the package RPostgreSQL

I have then tried to run the following

drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL")
drv

<PostgreSQLDriver:(8568)>

con <- dbConnect(drv, dbname="postgres")

Error in postgresqlNewConnection(drv, ...) :
  RS-DBI driver: (could not connect PLAYER at local on dbname "postgres"
)

Any idea on what is causing this error?
