Description

My local dev build started to fail, due to cmake founding a wrong boost (it found -- Found Boost 1.70.0 at /home/joris/miniconda3/lib/cmake/Boost-1.70.0 while building in a different conda environment.

I can reproduce this with creating a new conda env from scratch following our documentation.

By specifying -DBOOST_ROOT=/home/joris/miniconda3/envs/arrow-dev/lib it works fine.
