body: <p>I 've installed sqoop on a machine 
  (sqoop-1.4.4.bin__hadoop-1.0.0.tar.gz from <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/sqoop/1.4.4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apache.org/dist/sqoop/1.4.4/</a>).

  <p>I tried installing sqoop in other machines and it worked fine. But not in one particular machine I want :( I've set hadoop home path and also have sqoop home in classpath.</p>
  
  <p>Could someone let me know where am I doing mistake?</p>
