Missing Arrow objects

[feenberg]

We have Stata-Parquet working under Anaconda, but wish to make if available to all users. with each user having to install Anaconda. We followed the instructions for a manual install, but find that Stata-parquet does not link to the Apache Arrow libraries correctly. Here is the message from the make program:

arrowprob.txt

As you can see from the messages, The compiler is complaining that Arrow does not provide the objects that Stata-Parquet is requesting. Is this a new version of Arrow with a different interface or did we make a basic error?

Thanks

Of course I meant "without each user installing Anaconda".

Sorry

@feenberg I get a file not found error for the linked file.

I have always problems installing parquet outside Anaconda. Kyle managed to do it way back when. I will try again but I'm on Arch, not RedHat/CenOS.

This gives me an idea, though: Can you tell me which OS version exactly is NBER using? If the manual install fails, I will try to debug on a virtual machine and see if that helps troubleshoot the manual instructions/pin down versioning issues. (Though I probably won't get time to do that until the fall semester ends.)

Would you like an account on our system? Would that be easier? We are currently running SL7 which is the same as Centos7 but the messages I posted were from a new install of Centos8. just for testing. We would upgrade if necessay. Dan

This is just on the NBER servers, right? I already have an account if so. My concern is with having control over the libraries, etc. that are installed systemwide so I can test out what works.

It would also be nice to test it on a fresh install to see if it works.

Yes

You could try LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I agree it is much better if that isn't necessary. I take you think the problem is libraries. Thanks for anything you can do. Parquet will be great for Stata. Dan
