Getting this error upon trying to install and configure Hive

[gerald.p...@gtnexus.com]

Hi there!

So a little background. I've been trying to setup Hive on a CentOS 6 machine.
I followed the instructions of this Youtube video: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2lSrHsRpOI

For my case, I'm using Hadoop-1.1.2 and Hive-0.9.0, all the directories labeled 
mnt in this video I replaced it with opt because that's where all of my 
hadoop and hive packages have been opened up.

As I reached the portion of the video where I was actually supposed to run Hive 
via ./hive this error popped up:

Cannot find hadoop installation: $HADOOP_HOME must be set or hadoop must 
be in the path

I guess one of the questions I have is, in which directory did I have to edit 
the .profile file? because I don't understand why we would have to go to the 
home directory for this change. And also if this helps, this is what I had 
put down in the .profile file in my /home/hadoop directory

export HADOOP_HOME=/opt/hadoop/hadoop
export HIVE_HOME=/opt/hadoop/hive
export PATH=$HADOOP_HOME/bin:$HIVE_HOME/bin

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,

Gerald Park
