pyarrow installation failed on AIX7.2.

[bergen288]

I am trying to install pyarrow on my AIX7.2. It is failed with -- No package 'arrow' found. I also downloaded "apache-arrow-2.0.0.tar.gz" file and tried to install by "python setup.py install" inside ../apache-arrow-2.0.0/python, but failed with the same error. There is no obvious instruction for how to install ARROW in ../apache-arrow-2.0.0/. Can you tell me where to find the instruction for ARROW installation?

Thanks.

You need to install Apache Arrow C++ to install pyarrow on AIX.
See https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/cpp/building.html#building-arrow-cpp how to install Apache Arrow C++.

You can use the released tar ball https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/arrow/arrow-2.0.0/apache-arrow-2.0.0.tar.gz not git clone.

Attached are output logs. Does it mean I have to install SSE4.2 first? Thanks.

We need to add support for AIX to Apache Arrow C++ first.
It'll be able to be done by improving CPU detection at https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/cpp/cmake_modules/SetupCxxFlags.cmake#L26-L104 .
Could you open a JIRA issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/ARROW/issues/ ?
