Dewey Dunnington created ARROW-16639:
----------------------------------------
Summary: [R] Improve package installation on Fedora 36
Key: ARROW-16639
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16639
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: R
Reporter: Dewey Dunnington
Fedora 36 includes both a 'libarrow' and a 'libarrow-dataset' package under
pkg-config names 'arrow' and 'arrow-dataset', respectively. When we do
{{install.packages("arrow")}} on Fedora 36, the pkg-config for 'arrow' gets
picked up first, and we get a minimal arrow install. Installing with
{{NOT_CRAN=true ARROW_USE_PKG_CONFIG=false}} results in a full compiled
installation because binaries are not available for fedora-36 (according to the
install output).
Reported by Roger Bivand (while testing GDAL + Arrow support since Fedora 36 is
the easiest place to do that due to system Arrow):
https://github.com/paleolimbot/narrow/issues/7
Reproducble using the {{fedora:36}} docker container:
{code:bash}
# docker run --rm -it fedora:36
dnf install -y R libarrow-dataset-devel cmake
R -e 'install.packages("arrow", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/";)'
R -e 'arrow::arrow_info()$capabilities'
{code}
