Very many thanks for the swift response Jeremy, snappy 1.0.4 works perfectly.
For information, we have working environment of RHEL 6.4, and Java 1.7 U25, with snappy 1.0.5.

You'd need to use 1.0.4.1 which works fine but you need to download it separately and put it in your lib directory. You can find the 1.0.4.1 file from https://github.com/apache/cassandra/tree/cassandra-1.1.12/lib Jeremy On 29 Nov 2013, at 10:19, Nigel LEACH <nigel.le...@uk.bnpparibas.com> wrote: > Hi, I'm building a new cluster, and having problems starting Cassandra. > > RHEL 5.9 > Java 1.7 U40 > Cassandra 2.0.2 > > Previous clusters have started fine using the same methods, although the > envoronments are a little different (new RHEL, older Java). > > I am installing from DataStax tarball, and after making, I think, > trivial config changes for our environmnet, start things up with > bin/cassandra.
