trouble with install {arrow}

[xiaodaigh]

I have some trouble installing {arrow} which in turn is caused by {rlang}

here my the the Dockerfile

FROM rhub/r-minimal
RUN installr -d -t libparquet-dev arrow

/bin/sh: gcc: not found
make: *** [/usr/local/lib/R/etc/Makeconf:168: capture.o] Error 127
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘rlang’

This is what I get:

~ # installr -d -t libparquet-dev arrow

~ # apk search parquet

so apparently, there is no parquet in the base Alpine system.

Seems like you'll need to build arrow, which is not quite ideal: https://gist.github.com/bskaggs/fc3c8d0d553be54e2645616236fdc8c6

It doesn't work as jemalloc is not longer available

Those are instructions for Python. I will see if it works for R as well.

I meant the part that builds the arrow library:

I added a note to the README about this. Please comment here if you have any news about compiling arrow on ALpine.

quite late, but arrow works now, see the example in examples/arrow.
