             Summary: [CI][Crossbow] Nightly R with sanitizers build fails installing dependencies
                 Key: ARROW-6957
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6957

          Components: Continuous Integration, R
            Reporter: Neal Richardson


See https://circleci.com/gh/ursa-labs/crossbow/4006 for example. Failure looks like this:

Some thoughts: 

* This dependency is not needed to run the tests--it is a developer dependency, only needed when you're editing the Rcpp code. So we could conditionally not install it if we're on CI.
* The docker code around this changed in ARROW-6918 last week, around the time this started failing. The installation of this package was moved to a different part of the job, and it appears that {{MAKEVARS=-j8}} was added. Maybe that's causing more memory to be used concurrently? (Also, I would be shocked if CircleCI gave us a VM with 8 cores, so this seems wasteful and should probably be tuned to whatever the current system has.)
