Known issues
------------

If using packages provided by conda-forge (see "Using Conda" above)
together with a reasonably recent compiler, you may get "undefined symbol"
errors when importing pyarrow. In that case you'll need to force the C++
ABI version to the older version used by conda-forge binaries:

.. code-block:: shell

export CXXFLAGS="-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0"
export PYARROW_CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAGS

Be sure to add ``-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=$CXXFLAGS`` to the cmake invocations
when rebuilding.
