Description

Hello there and thanks again for this beautiful package!

I am trying to install arrow on linux and I got a few problematic warnings during the install. My computer is behind a firewall so not all the connections coming from rstudio are allowed.

after running install.packages("arrow") I get

 

 
installing *source* package ?arrow? ...
** package ?arrow? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation
*** Successfully retrieved C++ source
*** Proceeding without C++ dependencies
Warning message:
In unzip(tf1, exdir = src_dir) : error 1 in extracting from zip file
./configure: line 132: cd: libarrow/arrow-0.17.1/lib: No such file or directory
------------------------- NOTE ---------------------------
After installation, please run arrow::install_arrow()
for help installing required runtime libraries
---------------------------------------------------------

 

 

However, the installation ends normally.

 

 ** R
** inst
** byte-compile and prepare package for lazy loading
** help
*** installing help indices

** checking absolute paths in shared objects and dynamic libraries
** testing if installed package can be loaded from final location
** testing if installed package keeps a record of temporary installation path
* DONE (arrow)

 

So I go ahead and try to run arrow::install_arrow() and get a similar warning.

 

installing *source* package ?arrow? ...
** package ?arrow? successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked

*** Successfully retrieved C++ binaries for ubuntu-18.04

2: In unzip(bin_file, exdir = dst_dir) :

And unfortunately I cannot read any parquet file.

Error in fetch(key) : lazy-load database '/mydata/R/x86_64-ubuntu18-linux-gnu-library/3.6/arrow/help/arrow.rdb' is corrupt

 

Could you please tell me how to fix this? Can I just copy the zip from github and do a manual install in Rstudio?

 

Thanks!
