Solution

  • This issue you are seeing here is because you haven't yet installed the Arrow C++ libraries. You first need to install them and then install/build pyarrow itself afterwards.

    For ppc64le, there are no pyarrow wheels available. If you can use conda instead, we are building pyarrow conda packages on conda-forge.
