For what it's worth, I had similar errors on a Windows 7 laptop with 0.7.0 beta 3. Thought something must be wrong with my classpath, but an installation of 0.6.8 worked fine.

I've had it do that for me as well, but it runs just fine from IntelliJ IDEA. I had thought my own system was just somehow messed up. I'll do some checking and try to respond to the thread again sometime today.

I've re-installed a number of times with thrift and ensured all Java versions correct. Install on Ubuntu and Centos works fine from same download.
