Amit Ramon commented on ARROW-13505:
------------------------------------
Hi Nic, I'm still having problems, but I found a workaround that allows me to
work, so here is a summary of the current status.
* I managed to install Arrow in a Debian docker container without any problem;
* I managed to install Arrow on another Debian machine (another laptop), but I
had to update all system packages and all R packages; before that the
installation of Arrow had failed;
* On my main laptop, which also runs Debian, I'm still having problems
installing Arrow. After updating all system packages and all R packages, it
seems to be better - `install.packages("arrow")` manage to complete, but
complains that it cannot find C++ libraries. I then ran `install_arrowl()` but
it failed with the ld error I reported above. Now `arrow_info()` shows
{code:java}
> arrow::arrow_info()
Arrow package version: 5.0.0
Arrow C++ library not available. See
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html for troubleshooting.
{code}
The link suggest to set LIBARROW_BINARY=true, I did that and tried
`install_arrow()` again, and it again failed. I also tried other combinations
for LIBARROW_BINARY and LIBARROW_MINIMAL but it didn't help
The workaround I finally found was to copy the arrow installation from the
docker container to my laptop R/site-library directory. Both are running the
same version of Debian, and that way Arrow is now working on my laptop, with
all the capabilities I need. This is not perfect, but for now it solves my
practical problem.
For now I'll stop trying to solve the problem of installing arrow directly on
my system. However, if you want to investigate this further and I can help in
some way, I'd be glad to do that.
Thanks again for your efforts,
Amit
