We don't do any testing on NixOS, so it's not surprising that it doesn't just work. http://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html describes how dependencies are resolved and notes the relevant files inside the `r` directory of apache/arrow. It sounds like http://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html#using-system-libraries is most relevant since you say you already have Arrow C++ installed, so maybe you can set one of those environment variables to help it find them. If you have any fixes to enable it to work on your OS, please [open a JIRA ticket](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW) and I'll be happy to review your PR. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
