I'm trying to build the HDFS Test Suite per these instructions: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToUseSystemTestFramework
I've done a clean install of RHEL 6 and Fedora 16 (vm's). Both are yum update'ed to latest. Per the instructions, I ran these commands: # git clone git://github.com/apache/hadoop-hdfs.git hdfs # cd hdfs # ant test-system -Dhadoop.conf.dir.deployed=/home/bchilds/local/hadoop-1.1.1/conf The ant build fails complaining about missing org.apache.hadoop.classification.* files, and then about some missing interfaces. Here's the full build output from RHEL: http://pastebin.com/pgU8T6WQ Here's the build output from Fedora: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Z3aEcCiC I have NO classpath set (if I set any classpath, even one with the hadoop-common jars, the build doesn't make it this far). And i'm using the Sun 1.6 JDK on RHEL 6 & Fedora 16 What am I missing? Could someone else verify that the build/instructions work? Do I need a 1.7 JDK? Thanks, Bradley Childs
