Christopher Berner commented on HADOOP-8386:
--------------------------------------------
Ok, I tracked down the problem here. This only happens when you have the CDPATH
environment variable set, and is the same issue noticed by the GIT team
(http://lists-archives.com/git/623754-installation-failure-caused-by-cdpath-environment-variable.html).
With more information available here:

Let me know if I can help with anything else!

> if the 'hadoop' script is run as 'bin/hadoop' on a distro where the 'cd'
> command prints to stdout, the script will fail due to this line: 'bin=`cd
> "$bin"; pwd`'
> Workaround: execute from the bin/ directory as './hadoop'
> Fix: change that line to 'bin=`cd "$bin" > /dev/null; pwd`'
