I googled all I could. Could someone give me a clue why this is happening?

Answer 1

Found a solution. Do a sudo chown -R username parent-directory if you haven't already. Now try, mvn install -DskipTests. Everything should go fine and you should get BUILD SUCCESS.

P.S: Thanks ThomasJungblut

Answer 2

Try running 'protoc' and verify that it has the right GCC libraries installed. That was a problem I had on a build from source. It happened when I ran the command in a window where I had sourced a bunch of library configs for a software program, which seemed to screw up the proper library loading.

I had built and installed the google protoc from source, and downloaded maven, and installed, and worked off the raw git of hadoop-common. No other prep work changed from standard Centos6.
