hi,

i have downloaded and untarred hadoop v0.23.9. i am trying to set up a
single node instance to learn this version of hadop. also, i am following
as best as i can, the instructions at
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r0.23.9/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SingleCluster.html
.

when i attempt to run ${HADOOP_HOME}/bin/hdfs namenode -format, i get the
following error.

Error: Could not find or load main class
org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.server.namenode.NameNode

the instructions in the link above are complete. they jump right in and
say, "assuming you have installed hadoop-common/hadoop-hdfs..." what does
this assumption even mean? how do we install hadoop-common and hadoop-hdfs?

right now, i am running on CentOS 6.4 x64 minimal. my steps are the
following.

0. installed jdk 1.7 (Oracle)
1. tar xfz hadoop-0.23.9.tar.gz
2. mv hadoop-0.23.9 /opt
3. ln -s /opt/hadoop-0.23.9 /opt/hadoop
4. export HADOOP_HOME=/opt/hadoop
5. export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java
6. export PATH=${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${HADOOP_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

any help is appreciated.
