New to Vertica, I'm trying to use this gem to connect and keep getting the following error:

```
>> require 'vertica'
=> true
>> client = Vertica.connect({ :host => '10.0.0.15', :user => 'dbadmin', :password => 'pwd' })
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)

I'm using Ubuntu linux, trying to connect to Vertica 4.1. I verified that I can connect and query the DB using isql (ODBC).

I couldn't find much info about this gem, so I was wondering - are there any dependencies, drivers or requirements I need to check prior to using it? If so, I'd appreciate if you could update the README. thanks.
