Description

>>> import pyarrow
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/default/src/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyarrow-0.2.1.dev244+g14bec24-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg/pyarrow/_init_.py", line 28, in <module>
import pyarrow._config
ImportError: libjemalloc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$LD_LIBRARY_PATH has libarrow_jemalloc.a along with other libraries including libarrow.so, libparquet.so, libparquet_arrow.so. Pyarrow was built using ----with-jemalloc and parquet-cpp was cmake-d with
-DPARQUET_ARROW=ON

Also, noticed that arrow/python documentation has been cleaned up with the installation instructions having the coda approach only .Is this the only supported way going forward ?
