> Could this be the source of [errors like|https://github.com/arrow-interviewing/interview-question-1-Mauricio-Vargas-Sepulveda/pull/1/files#diff-c95526be36be633299f767ecc0377b7617d787f628a9e3a9163455e8520b7b9cR8] {{Error: NotImplemented: Support for codec 'lz4' not built}} after installing from CRAN?
> A few more details:
> The default behavior (when neither {{LIBARROW_BINARY=true}} nor {{NOT_CRAN=true}}) is to build the arrow c++ libraries from source. And the default for building from source does not include all of the optional features and compression libraries (unless one sets {{LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false}}). 
> Could we improve the error messaging that suggest either setting the right environment variable to install binaries (and then reinstall) or setting {{LIBARROW_MINIMAL=false}} (and then reinstall), possibly with a link to https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html to help people see other possible ways to resolve the installation issue.
