------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for opening up an issue with us. There's been some small turbulence with binary installations of Arrow. And those coming from RSPM specifically: the binaries exist but don't include snappy or a handful of other optional compression libraries. We are working with them to resolve this so it should just work again in the future (we also will be releasing a patch release shortly which should push this out a bit quicker).

You can tell that you're getting the packages from RSPM by [looking at the URL where the package is downloaded from|https://github.com/DyfanJones/noctua/runs/4045701651?check_suite_focus=true#step:5:24] and then a few lines later you'll see it say it's a binary package.

For now, there are a few options:

* You can set the environment variables you did (e.g. {{LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false}} [1]) and also set the repo to use a URL that hosts source packages (any CRAN mirror or the RSPM source url would be just fine here) [when you do your temp install|https://github.com/DyfanJones/noctua/pull/169/commits/70fd58acc19883592e715be94d7002c062541b46#diff-9c940e8ad2b7bc4c26ec3da57b94bc00e73e2166cfed689da51a4c59bcc0a310R41]
* You could also wait a few more days for this to be resolved — we've chatted with RSPM and they should be updating their binaries soon, and like I said we have a patch release on its way through the release process so should be released sometime next week which should also resolve this.

Sorry for the turbulence here, we know it's a pain when something that was working suddenly stops.

[1] You can set {{NOT_CRAN=true}} which is our more general flag during installation that does a few other niceties like enables a non-minimal build but also will attempt to use the binaries that we host.

> Hi All,
> I am having difficutly installing r-arrow with snappy compression on github action. I have set environment variable `ARROW_WITH_SNAPPY: ON` ([https://github.com/DyfanJones/noctua/blob/0079bf997737516fd3e1b61dbde7510044f79a2f/.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml] ). However I get the following error in my unit tests:
> {code:java}
> Error: Error: NotImplemented: Support for codec 'snappy' not built
>     In order to read this file, you will need to reinstall arrow with additional features enabled.
>     Set one of these environment variables before installing:
>      * LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false (for all optional features, including 'snappy')  
>      * ARROW_WITH_SNAPPY=ON (for just 'snappy')
>     See https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html for detail{code}
> arrow version: 6.0.0.2
> My PR [https://github.com/DyfanJones/noctua/pull/169] with the github actions issue.
> Any advice is much appericated.
