Sorry if I confused anyone, folks. My problem *description* differed from the example. My *source* code was identical.
Here's my exact source code: import org.apache.hadoop.fs.Path; import org.apache.hadoop.conf.*; import org.apache.hadoop.io.*; import org.apache.hadoop.mapred.*; import org.apache.hadoop.util.*; Here are the exact compiler error messages: WordCount.java:6: package org.apache.hadoop.fs does not exist WordCount.java:7: package org.apache.hadoop.conf does not exist WordCount.java:8: package org.apache.hadoop.io does not exist WordCount.java:9: package org.apache.hadoop.mapred does not exist WordCount.java:10: package org.apache.hadoop.util does not exist I must apologize for trying to use "poetic licence" in my description. Nevertheless, I see a mystery here. My failure symptoms strongly suggest that Javac cannot find the packages in its classpath. But my classpath invocation is good: "javac -classpath ~/hadoop-0.18.3-core.jar -d wordcount_classes WordCount.java" (This too I have an exact record of.) I'm at my wits end. I KNOW the files I'm using are GOOD, especially my hadoop-0.18.3-core.jar. I could sure use some ideas of whatever may be wrong here! -Rich B.
