When I try running leiningen on my os x lion I get the error

  • 0

When I try running leiningen on my os x lion I get the error below. The install is done as per the instructions on github (README). Can anyone give me a hint on this?

The only possible solution I found via google was to run lein clean but that fails for me with a similar message.

    I agree with cieplak – I had the same problem just now, lein depends on Clojure 1.2.1 and the default project file it created made my new project depend on Clojure 1.3.0. When I ran ‘lein test’ to run the tests for the new project Clojure 1.3.0 was downloaded and added to the classpath and then I had the error you state above.

    Solution – Delete all the downloaded jars in my new project (in ‘libs’), change project.clj to depend on Clojure 1.2.1 to match lein and re-run ‘lein test’ to download the dependencies. This time, no Clojure version clash and no error 🙂

    Correction – This only works if you do it before each run of ‘lein test’ 🙁 🙁

    Update – I have fixed my problem by making sure all the dependencies in my project use the same version of Clojure – 1.2.1. The main dependencies is Midje, so I’m using 1.2.0 of that (which uses 1.2.1 of Clojure) and of course Leiningen itself at version 1.6.2 which uses Clojure 1.2.1 also. Not an ideal situation but at least it works in consecutive runs without having to delete all the dependent libraries!
