Hi, So I had this working perfectly with beta 3 and now it fails. Basically what I do is follows:
1) Extract new rc1 tarball. 2) Prepare location based on instructions in Readme.txt: sudo rm -r /var/log/cassandra sudo rm -r /var/lib/cassandra sudo mkdir -p /var/log/cassandra sudo chown -R `whoami` /var/log/cassandra sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/cassandra sudo chown -R `whoami` /var/lib/cassandra 3) Then run cassandra [devel...@localhost apache-cassandra-0.7.0-rc1]$ bin/cassandra -f INFO 21:23:41,750 Heap size: 1060569088/1061617664 INFO 21:23:41,755 JNA not found.
