Description

I have installed the pyarrow 0.14.0 but it seems that by default you did not provide symlink of libarrow.so and libarrow_python.so. Only .so file with version suffix is provided. Hence, I cannot use the output of pyarrow.get_libraries() and pyarrow.get_library_dirs() to build my link option.

If you provide symlink, I can pass following to the linker to specify the library to link. e.g. g++ -L/<install_location> -larrow -larrow_python

However, right now, the ld ouput complains not being able to find -larrow and -larrow_python
