As I wanted to use Elephant bird to read/write JSON files in PIG, downloaded EB for Mac
git clone git://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird.git
and tried to build using
mvn package
and the build failed as below,

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.igor-petruk.protobuf:protobuf-maven-plugin:0.4:run (default) on project elephant-bird-core: Unable to find 'protoc' -> [Help 1]
I have checked this link ElephantBird package build failure: and downloaded thrift 0.9 and tried specifying the absolute path in pom.xml
Any suggestions please on How to get it running.
If you're using an apt-get based system, try installing the
libprotobuf-javapackage. You could also install version 2.4.1 from source http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/downloads/detail?name=protobuf-2.4.1.tar.gz.https://github.com/kevinweil/elephant-bird/wiki/Build-errors mentions this error.
