Could any of you help me with this error I am getting. The version I use is 1.4.4  
Command I ran: ./bin/plugin install elasticsearch/marvel/latest

Stack trace of errror:  
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not resolve placeholder 'ES\_RACK'  
at org.elasticsearch.common.property.PropertyPlaceholder.parseStringValue(PropertyPlaceholder.java:124)

at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginManager.main(PluginManager.java:389)

I must agree that ES\_RACK is an environment variable I am setting in a file called setenv and not in elasticsearch.yml.  
How do I come over this error?
