There must be something else going on with your setup.  I am not able to 
duplicate your issue.  There have been reported some issue with the current 
Mavericks only version of R that we have not had time to work on.  If this is 
indeed the issue, then try downloading the Snow Leopard version and use it.

I upgraded my Mac OS to Yosemite (10.10.2). After that upgraded R to 3.1.2
Now I am not able to use the RPostgreSQL package. I was able to use it 
successfully earlier.
Specifically, when I execute drv <- dbDriver("PostgreSQL"), the R session 
aborts.
Also, I tried to reinstall RPostgreSQL but there is no such package for R 
verison 3.1
My xquartz version is the latest (XQuartz 2.7.)
Any help is appreciated

Ehy, i had the same problem after upgrading to Yosemite.
I had to first resintall XQartz and then install R version 3.1.2 (2014-10-31) 
-- "Pumpkin Helmet". It worked for me.
Hope this helps 
Mino

Ok, I reinstalled XQuartz-2.7.7 and after that reinstalled R 3.1.2 - Mavericks. 
I still get this message:
Warning message:
package ‘RPostgreSQL’ is not available (for R version 3.1.2)
