--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Error: 'install_arrow' is not an exported object from
'namespace:arrow'
Key: ARROW-5614
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5614
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: R
Reporter: Thomas Buhrmann
I'm trying to get the R package installed in a Debian docker image that already
contains R and RStudio (via rocker/rstudio from dockerhub), as well as
arrow-cpp, parquet-cpp and pyarrow installed via conda. I.e. I should have all
required arrow dependencies in my conda environment's /lib and /include folders.
I then tried to install the R package in two ways (as stated in the README,
having devtools, and after managing to get git2r installed)
1/ via remotes
{code:java}
remotes::install_github("apache/arrow/r",
ref="76e1bc5dfb9d08e31eddd5cbcc0b1bab934da2c7"){code}
2/ from source
{code:java}
git clone https://github.com/apache/arrow.git
cd arrow/r
R -e 'remotes::install_deps()'
R CMD INSTALL --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/root/miniconda/envs/my_env/include
LIB_DIR=/root/miniconda/envs/my_envs/lib' .{code}
In both cases the install seems to work fine:
{code:java}
** building package indices
** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
** checking absolute paths in shared objects and dynamic libraries
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary installation path
* DONE (arrow)
{code}
But when I then do the following as prompted:
{code}
library(arrow)
arrow::install_arrow()
{code}
The result is
{code}
Error: 'install_arrow' is not an exported object from 'namespace:arrow'
{code}
And running the example without calling that non-existing function I get the
error
{code}
Error in Table__from_dots(dots, schema) :
Cannot call Table__from_dots(). Please use arrow::install_arrow() to install
required runtime libraries.
{code}
So I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the documentation isn't up
to date? Specifically, what is the arrow::install_arrow() function supposed to
install, given that I already have the arrow and parquet libs and headers
installed, and supposed they've been used (linked to) when I installed the R
package?
In general, is there any way to get this package installed in the above context
(arrow-cpp etc. installed via conda)?
