Hi, Unfortunately we need to stay on CentOS 6 for now.
We have a locally built libboost-devel-1.54 for CentOS 6 which installs in a custom location. I added the installation steps at the end of https://github.com/apache/arrow-dist/blob/master/cpp-linux/yum/centos-6/Dockerfile and the library is in the Docker container now. How can I ask Arrow to pick up this Boost library from its custom location? Right now I see this: /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/apache-arrow-0.9.0/cpp/src/arrow/io/hdfs-internal.cc:204:7: error: 'class boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char>, boost::filesystem::path_traits>' has no member named 'make_preferred' i.make_preferred(); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/apache-arrow-0.9.0/cpp/src/arrow/io/hdfs-internal.cc:205:27: error: 'class boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char>, boost::filesystem::path_traits>' has no member named 'native' out_handle = dlopen(i.native().c_str(), RTLD_NOW | RTLD_LOCAL); and I assume Arrow is picking up the default CentOS Boost, which as you mention it won't work.
