Marie, you did not say if you work on Windows or Unix. The manual from google belongs to the R package RpostgreSQL. This package makes use the native PostgreSQL driver. As I read the documentation, the package's DBI interface must be somehow binary compatible with the Postgres version installed. It installs and works seamlessly here on Linux, and also works with Windows Vista, but I remember that I had to shuffle some dlls from the postgresql directory. So if you provide some more information, maybe I'll remember what I did to get it running.
