             Summary: [C++] Development instructions in python/development.rst will not work for many Linux distros with new conda-forge toolchain
                 Key: ARROW-4326
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4326
             Project: Apache Arrow
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++, Python
            Reporter: Wes McKinney
             Fix For: 0.13.0


I spent some time today trying to migrate my Ubuntu 14.04 machine over to use the latest conda-forge packages based on the Anaconda gcc7 toolchain

If you follow development.rst you will most likely have problems. I needed to install the {{gcc_linux-64}} and {{gxx_linux-64}} packages to get the gcc7 compilers. Arrow wouldn't build out of the box for me after this, with linker errors related to {{pthread}}. According to the conda-forge developers a workaround is here

There may be some other way around the issue
