I think that you're using Python 2. Meson requires Python 3. > 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. Here is a patch to make GObject Introspection optional: https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/apache/arrow/pull/6072.patch You need to use Meson to build with this patch. To use configure, you need to regenerate c_glib/configure from c_glib/configure.ac. It requires GObject Introspection. So you can't use configure on your environment.
