Description
I am trying to get openvdb running on Google Colab - has anyone had luck in doing this?
### Environment
Colab
Linux-5.4.109+-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-18.04-bionic
Python 3.7.10 (default, May 3 2021, 02:48:31) [GCC 7.5.0]
### Describe the problem
I'm looking to get openvdb running on Google Colab using the Ubuntu package available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvdb
I may be seeing an error upon installation in apt (I'm not sure) as well as when importing the library in Python.
### To Reproduce
1) install
```
!sudo apt update
!sudo apt install python-openvdb
!pip install pyopenvdb
```
Here I see the message `/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/ideep4py/lib/libmkldnn.so.0 is not a symbolic link`, but am not sure if this is a fatal problem.
2) import
```
import pyopenvdb
```
Throws an error: `ImportError: libboost_python37.so.1.68.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed apt and pip installation commands in the reported Google Colab Ubuntu 18.04 environment, then inspect the import failure for the missing libboost_python37.so.1.68.0 library and compare it with the Ubuntu openvdb package details. Done means the documented installation completes without a fatal dependency problem and import pyopenvdb succeeds.
