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

I tried the installation on Ubuntu 14.4 LTS, the installation goes quite smooth. I'd like to close the issue and thank [~danrobinson010@gmail.com] and [~wesmckinn] for support.

> I followed [the guide|https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/python/doc/INSTALL.md] to install Arrow project from scratch. I met some issues.
> 1. First of all, I need to build the cpp part. So I setup the thirdparty dependencies. But when I {{cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARROW_HOME ..}}, it shows an error at {{get_filename_component}} with {{FindGTest.cmake}}. After some digging, I noticed that I have to use *cmake 3* (instead of cmake 2).
> 2. Now I am able to install {{pyarrow}}. The installation went smooth. But when I import the module {{pyarrow}}, it says {{ImportError: No module named array}}. I haven't found any description on this error.
