Description

In some later nightly in the past few weeks (not sure when) the bin/nutch script stopped working on my Macs with

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: OS

On any command. I tracked it down to the JAVA_PLATFORM env variable that is used to try to find a native hadoop library. The line

JAVA_PLATFORM=`CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH} ${JAVA} org.apache.hadoop.util.PlatformName`

in bin/nutch returns "Mac OS X-ppc-32", which then appears as

-Djava.library.path=/Users/bwhitman/Desktop/nn/lib/native/Mac OS X-ppc-32

in the java command line to start a nutch tool.

Not sure the best way to fix this, but I manually put

JAVA_PLATFORM='MacOSX/PPC'

and the error went away.
