[ANN] Alternate PostgreSQL interface update - a problem

I tried the PostgreSQL interface, but can't connect to my database -
perhaps someone can assist me. I don't have much practical database
experience, so it's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong.
I have connected the PostgreSQL 7.4.6 database fine with pgAdmin, so I
don't think there's anything wrong on the server end. When trying to
establish a simple connection in Squeak 3.8, I get the following error:
"unknown message type," followed by a random character. My code looks
like so:
client := PSQLClient new host: 'db.cecs.pdx.edu';
database: 'emerson';
user: 'foo';
password: 'bar',
port: 5432.
client establishConnection.
I also can't get the same code working in Smalltalk/X, but only because
ST/X doesn't have a Password class. But this was only a test - I intend
to run this software in Squeak.
Thanks in advance,
Emerson
