Configuring Hadoop fails with complains about "snappy" libraries

[moravveji]

Hi

I am trying to install Hadoop on Breniac. However, the configure step gives some critical warnings, specifically

[WARNING]   Required snappy library could not be found.
[WARNING]   SNAPPY_LIBRARY=SNAPPY_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND, SNAPPY_INCLUDE_DIR=,
[WARNING]   CUSTOM_SNAPPY_INCLUDE_DIR=,
[WARNING]   CUSTOM_SNAPPY_PREFIX=/myApps/software/snappy/1.1.7-GCCcore-6.4.0,
[WARNING]   CUSTOM_SNAPPY_INCLUDE=

Further on, the build fails with the error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:2.9.2:cmake-compile (cmake-compile) on project hadoop-common: CMake failed with ee
rror code 1 -> [Help 1]

I have attached the debugging logs and the EB file.

Any idea what the error means? And how to fix this?

Regards,
Ehsan

@moravveji What are the contents of /myApps/software/snappy/1.1.7-GCCcore-6.4.0?

In particular, is there a file there that matches lib*/libsnappy.so*?
Are the header files there in the snappy installation directory?
