I have Hadoop 1.0.4 running on a single node cluster set up on my Ubuntu machine.
I did the following steps to download and install the hive release
The tar file apache-hive-0.13.1-src.tar.gz has a missing lib folder You can download hive-0.12.0.tar.gz and move the lib folder to apache-hive-0.13.1-src folder. Now hive should be working.
