Description

Following through the instructions of building pyarrow with parquet. first built arrow cpp using instruction in readme with the following cmake
cmake -DARROW_PYTHON=on -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$ARROW_HOME ..

Then built parquet-cpp (separate location) using readme instructions. Then tried building pyarrow using python setup.py build_ext --with-parquet install and get the error

Could not find the parquet library. Could not find the parquet_arrow library. Did you build with -DPARQUET_ARROW=on? Looked in system search paths.
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:287 (message):
Unable to locate Parquet libraries

$ARROW_HOME is set along with this export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ARROW_HOME/lib

I can manually see the parquet_arrow libraries under
parquet-cpp/build/debug/ (libparquet_arrow.so , libparquet_arrow.so.1, libparquet_arrow.so.1.0.0). I also tried appending the parquet-cpp/build/debug path in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that didnt help

I started to get this problem today after cloning the latest versions of arrow and parquet-cpp . Didnt notice this in the last couple of days
