Description

The added code here: https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/apache-arrow-0.14.1/python/pyarrow/__init__.py#L257-L265 causes an AssertionError in ubuntu:

... line 265, in get_library_dirs
assert library_dir.startswith("-L")
AssertionError

I've installed libarrow-dev from the bintray repositories.

Output from pkg-config:

pkg-config --debug --libs-only-L arrow

Package arrow has -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in Libs
Removing -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu from libs for arrow
  pre-remove: arrow
 post-remove: arrow
 original: arrow
   sorted: arrow
adding LIBS_L string ""
returning flags string ""

 Workaround: set the PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS env var.

PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=1 pkg-config --debug --libs-only-L arrow

Adding 'arrow' to list of known packages
Package arrow has -I/usr/include in Cflags
Removing -I/usr/include from cflags for arrow
Package arrow has -L /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in Libs
  pre-remove: arrow
 post-remove: arrow
 original: arrow
   sorted: arrow
adding LIBS_L string "-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu "
returning flags string "-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
