Pig command not working in centos.

We recently installed Pig 0.15.0 on our system. We already have Hadoop 2.7.1 installed on our system. But while running the pig command we get the following exception :-

[hadoop1@hp_proliant ~]$ pig
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/antlr/runtime/RecognitionException

Following is the content of our bashrc file for any reference to path settings :-

export HADOOP_HOME=/home/hadoop1/hadoop1
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/hadoop1/hbase-1.1.4/lib/*
export PIG_HOME=/home/hadoop1/Pig
export PATH=$PATH:/home/hadoop1/Pig/bin
export PIG_CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/hadoop1/Pig/lib/*

What possible could be the problem for this exception?

The command worked! I added the lib dir of Pig to the HADOOP_CLASSPATH in hadoop-env.sh.

Looks like below jar is missing from PIG lib directory. Please cross check

antlr-runtime-<version>.jar

It exists in the lib directory. : /home/hadoop1/Pig/lib/antlr-runtime-3.4.jar

@Kumar Sanyam

Could you please check whether antlr runtime is available in pig classpath using

pig -printCmdDebug | grep antlr --color

/home/hadoop1/Pig/lib/antlr-runtime-3.4.jar

The above line exists in the output generated while running the given command.
