Romain Francois / @romainfrancois:
I have the same problem right now on a new machine. I don't know enough about homebrew to be useful. 

Things seem to work if I install with 

brew install apache-arrow --HEAD

Wes McKinney / @wesm:
After the 0.13 release is out and Homebrew updated it would be worth doing a holistic review of developer documentation for R users and perhaps add an R installation pages to the main documentation project

Neal Richardson / @nealrichardson:
Installation instructions and tooling have changed a lot since this was reported. Also, install_github() is not recommended anymore.

We can reopen a new issue if there's still problems.
