I have managed to get it to work now. The solution was to ensure that the Sun JRE was on the system PATH, rather than the IBM one. The IBM JRE seems to have a problem with the class file
clojure/contrib/pprint/PrettyWriter.class in clojure-contrib.jar ...whereas the Sun one doesn't. The next question is, how can we find out why this is? There would appear to be two possibilities: 1) The IBM JVM is rejecting a valid class file 2) Clojure is emitting invalid bytecode that the Sun JVM doesn't mind but the IBM JVM rejects. 2010/1/11 Chris Jenkins <cdpjenk...@gmail.com> > Incidentally, I just tried Clojure Box 1.0 on the same machine and get > exactly the same error message.
