Hi all,
I am totally new to clojure and this is a very simple question, but I
spent the last two hours trying to figure this out and I need help.

I'm not able to use the clojure-contrib library and I am not able to
find instructions here on this group and anywhere on the web. Maybe
because this should be easy, but for me it isn't.

I downloaded the clojure-contrib.jar but I can't find anywhere
instruction on the set-up (where to put the file, if some else is
needed, ecc) to begin with.

Actually I have the clojure-contrib.jar file in the same directory as
the clojure.jar, but I don't know how to run it.

I've tried running the REPL normally, but when try using

(ns mynamespace
  (:use clojure.contrib.string))

in my code file (or using :require in place of :use) i get this error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate clojure/contrib/
string__init.class or clojure/contrib/string.clj on classpath:
(NO_SOURCE_FILE:2)

I thought then that the library must be loaded in the same command
with clojure.jar. I tried to look on the web and found some script and
I tried to figure out what to do from them. What I tried last is

java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main clojure-contrib.jar

and I get this error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve
symbol: PK in this context (clojure-contrib.jar:0)

I'm not sure that what I'm doing is correct, but it's all I was able
to figure out in two hours of trial and error. I don't know anything
about running java from the command line. Every page I find on the
internet on clojure-contrib just assumes that everything works and
just uses the library.

I hope that someone can help me.
Thank you very much.

Matteo
