Exception when trying to run the REPL

[Cole Rowland]

I'm new to Clojure and anything having to do with Java or the JVM.

I downloaded and unzipped clojure 1.4 and when I run java -cp
clojure-1.4.0.jar clojure.main I get the following error:

Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
clojure.main
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.10)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: clojure.main not found in
gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[],
parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}}
   at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.10)

It looks like you're trying to use gcj or something; you'll be better
off with OpenJDK. Also, using Clojure from the raw jar file is very
cumbersome; if you are getting started I recommend Leiningen:
