Jeroen created ARROW-16903:
------------------------------
Summary: Install failure on Ubuntu-22.04 when
libboost-filesystem-dev is missing
Key: ARROW-16903
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16903
Project: Apache Arrow
Issue Type: Bug
Components: R
Reporter: Jeroen
Trying to install the R package on Ubuntu 22.04 gives the following unhelpful
error for any configuration, even when using LIBARROW_MINIMAL=true or
FORCE_BUNDLED_BUILD=true
{code:java}
* installing *source* package ‘arrow’ ...
** using staged installation
Replacing default rmarkdown theme...
*** No libarrow binary found for version 8.0.0.9000 on ubuntu-22.04
*** Proceeding without libarrow
------------------------- NOTE ---------------------------
There was an issue preparing the Arrow C++ libraries.
See https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html
---------------------------------------------------------
{code}
It would be helpful in the message above to mention `ARROW_R_DEV=true` to debug
this further because that is not obvious.
Now the issue turned out to be this:
{code:java}
-- Could NOT find Boost: missing: system filesystem (found
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Boost-1.74.0/BoostConfig.cmake (found suitable
version "1.74.0", minimum required is "1.58"))
CMake Error at cmake_modules/ThirdpartyToolchain.cmake:892 (add_library):
add_library cannot create imported target "Boost::headers" because another
target with the same name already exists.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake_modules/ThirdpartyToolchain.cmake:154 (build_boost)
cmake_modules/ThirdpartyToolchain.cmake:255 (build_dependency)
cmake_modules/ThirdpartyToolchain.cmake:1005 (resolve_dependency)
CMakeLists.txt:567 (include)
{code}
So my system had boost, but it did not have libboost-filesystem-dev. This leads
to a fatal error, even when we build with bundled dependencies. Is that
expected? It is not documented on
https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html that this is a hard
requirement.
