Description

I am following the getting started guide and built Mesos. I run

./bin/mesos-master.sh --ip=127.0.0.1 --work_dir=../../tmp

and the startup works fine, I can look at the web interface etc. Then I run

./bin/mesos-agent.sh --master=127.0.0.1:5050 --work_dir=../../tmp

and this fails with the following exception:

WARNING: Logging before InitGoogleLogging() is written to STDERR

When I add --no-systemd_enable_support the agent runs fine.
