[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-5870) Development compile instructions need to include "make" and "re2"

["Jim Pivarski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5870?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16879969#comment-16879969 ] 

Jim Pivarski commented on ARROW-5870:
-------------------------------------

Actually, only "make" is needed; "re2" comes in the "sudo apt-get install" line I didn't realize was part of the installation (because it was under the "using pip" section and I was using conda, but it is needed for Boost).

But even after installing Boost (and re2) with apt-get and re-running cmake, I'm running into "undefined reference to `boost::system::detail::generic_category_ncx()'" errors. I think this is due to a missing boost_system, but I can't see from the instructions on

[https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/development.html]

what's missing.

I had thought this was a simple omission from the instructions (and therefore an easy "bug" fix), but it's beginning to look like a long installation struggle. Should I move this to the Arrow developers mailing iist?
