Hi, all

I just wanna running hadoop with pseudo-distributed model in my macbook with
OS x 10.6.4

I once downloaded a hadoop-0.20.2 while I can run it successfully, but for
the latest version of hadoop 0.21, although I can start all daemons of
hadoop, but when I submit a job, there are some errors

Is there anyone who met the same problem?

Thank you
