Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-7908:
----------------------------------------
codegen.R and decor are not required, despite the error messages they throw:
they're allowed to fail.
I'm not sure why you're seeing a version number of .9000 unless you're
installing from git/github, not CRAN.
In any case, I believe installation should work now on the latest dev version.
Could you try installing (no env vars required) from our nightly repository,
{{install.packages("arrow", repos="https://dl.bintray.com/ursalabs/arrow-r";)}}?

> It appears that the C++ code is not built. With arrow 0.16.0.1 things do work
> out, because it tries to build the C++ code from source. With arrow 0.16.0.2
> such is no longer the case. I could finish the installation by setting the
> environment variable LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD to 'true':
> {code:java}
> export LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD=true
> {code}
> That, apparently, triggers the build from source. I would have expected that
> I would not need to set this variable explicitly.
> I found that [between
> versions|https://github.com/apache/arrow/commit/660d0e7cbaa1cfb51498299d445636fdd6a58420],
> the default value of LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD has changed:
> {code:sh}
> - download_ok <- locally_installing && !env_is("LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD", "false")
> + download_ok <- env_is("LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD", "true")
> {code}
> In our environment, that variable was _not_ set, resulting (accidentally?) in
> download_ok being false and therefore the libraries not being installed and
> finally the resulting error above.
>
> I can't quite figure out the logic behind all this, but it would be nice if
> we'd be able to install the package without first having to set
> LIBARROW_DOWNLOAD.

> Thank you for looking into this!
