R Build Failing

[sadatnfs]

I'm trying to install the R bindings for Apache Arrow and it's been erroring out for me for the last 3-5 days with the following trace (I'm building in a Debian Stretch Docker, with Arrow already built and make installd:

Could you provide complete details about how you are building the project? You might want to have a look at #2770 also

[sadatnfs]

@wesm for the time being, I'm installing the package directly pointing to the Github repo, something like pacman::p_load_gh("apache/arrow/r") would that do.

One thing to note though is that commit d5f7b02fdf3c42663db8db6f385d94c17a865a10 is the last commit where I have been able to bulid the R package successfully, and so I am pinning my install to that commit for now. Looks like the commit right after (happens to be an R commit) causes my installation to fail and cannot find that R_ERROR_NOT_OK pointer (referring to #2915).

Try the latest master commit. Please post reproducible failure so @romainfrancois or others can take a look

[sadatnfs]

Can confirm that its working now! Thanks @wesm !
