Description

I would like to install the `arrow` R package on my Ubuntu 19.10 system. Prebuilt binaries are unavailable, and I want to enable compression, so I set the LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false environment variable. When I do so, it looks like the package is able to compile, but can't be loaded. I'm able to install correctly if I don't set the LIBARROW_MINIMAL variable.

Here's the error I get:

** testing if installed package can be loaded from temporary location
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘arrow’ in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
