### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. I am trying to install the arrow R package on Linux by running the following script (as suggested [here](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html#offline-installation)): ```r source("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apache/arrow/main/r/R/install-arrow.R") create_package_with_all_dependencies("my_arrow_pkg.tar.gz") install.packages( "my_arrow_pkg.tar.gz", dependencies = c("Depends", "Imports", "LinkingTo") ) ``` It fails with the following message: ``` Error: Error installing package 'arrow': ================================= * installing *source* package ‘arrow’ ... ** package ‘arrow’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked ** using staged installation *** pkg-config found. *** Found local C++ source: 'tools/cpp' *** Building libarrow from source For build options and troubleshooting, see the install guide: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/r/articles/install.html **** cmake 3.31.1: /usr/bin/cmake tools/download_dependencies_R.sh: line 59: source: /tmp/RtmpQzm78H/renv-package-new-23c906aa6b4b/arrow/tools: is a directory Error in get_component_names() : Failed to run download_dependencies_R.sh Calls: build_libarrow -> set_thirdparty_urls -> get_component_names Execution halted ------------------------- NOTE --------------------------- There was an issue building the Arrow C++ libraries.

My `sessionInfo()` is below. ```r > sessionInfo() R version 4.4.2 (2024-10-31) Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu Running under: Arch Linux Matrix products: default BLAS: /usr/lib/libblas.so.3.12.0 LAPACK: /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3.12.0 locale: [1] LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C LC_TIME=C.UTF-8 [4] LC_COLLATE=C.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=C.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=C.UTF-8 [7] LC_PAPER=C.UTF-8 LC_NAME=C LC_ADDRESS=C [10] LC_TELEPHONE=C LC_MEASUREMENT=C.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=C time zone: Europe/London tzcode source: system (glibc) attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices datasets utils methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_4.4.2 tools_4.4.2 renv_1.0.11 > ``` ### Component(s) R -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
