I just went through the instructions on statsgrass to set up Rdbi and  
RdbiPgSQL. The url for Rdbi and RdbiPgSQL have changed on the  
bioconductor web site. Therefore the commands (within R) to install  
the Rdbi and RdbiPqSQL packages should be changed from:

R
#within R, simply do the next two steps:
install.packages(contriburl="http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/ 
devel/package/Source/","Rdbi")
install.packages(contriburl="http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/ 
devel/package/Source/","RdbiPgSQL")

to:

R
#within R, simply do the next two steps:
install.packages(contriburl="http://http://www.bioconductor.org/ 
packages/bioc/1.8/src/contrib/","Rdbi")
install.packages(contriburl="http://http://www.bioconductor.org/ 
packages/bioc/1.8/src/contrib/","RdbiPgSQL")

Since I was doing this on a mac I also had to include the   
type="source" argument (thanks for that tip Roger).

Nevertheless, it seems that the statsgrass webpage could be updated.
