Hi Kou, I am working on [the Cartesius system](https://userinfo.surfsara.nl/systems/cartesius). The OS on it is [bullx Linux](https://userinfo.surfsara.nl/systems/cartesius/software/rhel).
I’ve successfully installed Meson according to your suggestion, however it couldn’t run, probably due to some compatibility issues on the system. (I’ve written an email to the Helpdesk for help.) In the meantime of waiting for their response, I would like to know if it is possible to do some modification in the source code of the current Apache Arrow release to disable building GObject Introspection, instead of waiting for the next release.
