How do i install protobuf 2.5 on Arch Linux for compiling hadoop 2.6.0

Am looking for installing protobuf 2.5.0 on Arch Linux, so that protoc-2.5.0.so is installed on the OS, so that i can go ahead with building hadoop 2.6.0 from source and make my life easy! :)

BTW, protobuf 2.6.0 does not compile when hadoop is built from source i have tried that as well. Ubuntu 14.04 comes with protoc 2.5.0. I DO NOT want to use Ubuntu.

Please check the screenshot first (there is no protobuf 2.5.0), since the problem lies there.. i guess am getting the following exception, i am aware that protoc is not installed in arch linux currently.

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-maven-plugins:2.6.0:protoc (compile-protoc) on project hadoop-common: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: 'protoc --version' did not return a version -> [Help 1]

Please help me out, since, i have spent 4 hours every day from two days, with no luck.

PS: I have installed arch linux from scratch.. i.e followed installation guide

Have you tried searching the AUR?

Why do you think protobuf is needed for hadoop?  Hadoop 2.6 is in the AUR and protobuf is not a dependency.  I just installed hadoop 2.6 without protobuf.

Why do you think protobuf is needed for hadoop?  Hadoop 2.6 is in the AUR and protobuf is not a dependency.  I just installed hadoop 2.6 without protobuf.

I do not want to install hadoop 2.6.0 from AUR directly and start running hadoop on Arch.
Am compiling hadoop 2.6.0 from source because i can modify the same and hence, want to build it myself. After i build it, i want to run it  on Arch.

Re: How do i install protobuf 2.5 on Arch Linux for compiling hadoop 2.6.0

I don't understand what you mean. Why not create a PKGBUILD that suits you?

You shouldn't install packages in Arch w/o a PKGBUILD.
