Description

After installing the R package for arrow, I get the following error when trying to read or write a parquet file: 

> read_parquet("example.parquet")
Error in io__MemoryMappedFile_Open(path, mode) :
Cannot call io__MemoryMappedFile_Open(). Please use arrow::install_arrow() to install required runtime libraries.
> write_parquet(mtcars, "test.parquet")
Error in Table__from_dots(dots, schema) :
Cannot call Table__from_dots(). Please use arrow::install_arrow() to install required runtime libraries.

The problem occurs with both the latest stable release on CRAN and the latest development version from GitHub. I installed the C++ arrow library through conda as there was no working deb package for Ubuntu 19.10.
