 not available) - Help?

btw, if you happen to be using something like fedora... the following
easy 4 steps worked for me

- on fedora yum install snappy
- ln -s /usr/lib64/libsnappy.so.1.1.3
/opt/hbase/lib/native/Linux-amd-64-64/libsnappy.so
- ln -s /opt/hadoop/lib/native/Linux-amd64-64/libhadoop.so.1.0.0
/opt/hbase/lib/native/Linux-amd-64-64/libhadoop.so
- test it with : bin/hbase
org.apache.hadoop.hbase.util.CompressionTest file:///tmp/snappy snappy


It might save you all the fuss with building and installing snappy if
you just use the provided OS packages (some one will probably tell me
it's the wrong version now :) )
