Sorry when I said the latest released version of clojure I thought that would be enough to go on.

When I run through the REPL I get the same result as you. If you run the code from a file you get: C:\products\clojure>java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main test.clj java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of args passed to: user$testing (test.clj:0) at clojure.lang.Compiler.eval(Compiler.java:4533) at clojure.lang.Compiler.load(Compiler.java:4846) at clojure.lang.Compiler.loadFile(Compiler.java:4813) at clojure.main$load_script__5793.invoke(main.clj:206) at clojure.main$script_opt__5824.invoke(main.clj:258) at clojure.main$main__5848$fn__5850.invoke(main.clj:333) at clojure.main$main__5848.doInvoke(main.clj:328) at clojure.lang.RestFn.invoke(RestFn.java:413) at clojure.lang.Var.invoke(Var.java:346) at clojure.lang.AFn.applyToHelper(AFn.java:173) at clojure.lang.Var.applyTo(Var.java:463) at clojure.main.main(main.java:39) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Wrong number of args passed to: user$testing at clojure.lang.AFn.throwArity(AFn.java:449) at clojure.lang.AFn.invoke(AFn.java:48) at user$eval__4.invoke(test.clj:2) at clojure.lang.Compiler.eval(Compiler.java:4522) ... 11 more I think part of my problem is that I'm thinking of it as a compile error when actually it's a runtime error. Even so most of the stack is unnecessary - would it be feasible (or even desirable) to strip the parts not relevant to the user? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
