title: FATAL org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration - error parsing conf file: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException
body: <p>I'm trying to run pig locally, installed using homebrew, to test a script. However, I get the following error when I attempt to run a simple dump from the interactive prompt <code>pig -x local</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>2012-07-16 23:20:40,447 [Thread-7] INFO  org.apache.pig.backend.hadoop.executionengine.util.MapRedUtil - Total input paths (combined) to process : 1
  [Fatal Error] :63:85: Character reference "&amp;#2" is an invalid XML character.

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same load/dump works fine on Elastic MapReduce.</p>
  
  <p>I can't find any XML config files, and I've tried with both version 0.9.2 and 0.10.0</p>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: Just checked a direct download (vs. homebrew) and it doesn't seem to work either</p>
