Neal Richardson created ARROW-7864:
--------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Make sure bundled installation works even if there
are system packages
Key: ARROW-7864
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-7864
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Neal Richardson
Fix For: 1.0.0
Among the issues:
* In https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/6435: 0.15 system packages didn't
have libarrow_dataset, so if they're installed and you try to install 0.16,
pkg-config probably reports that the packages aren't available and it tries to
build from source. That's fine except that in the linking step, apparently the
system packages are being picked up instead of the static libs we just built,
so installation fails (presumably until you either upgrade the system packages
or delete them). In general, if we've decided to build/download static libs to
match the R package, we should make sure those are the ones that get picked up.
* Whenever pkg-config does find packages, check the version and make sure it
matches the R version, and if not, don't use them because they almost certainly
won't work.
