clojure-contrib with erring CLASSPATH

[trier@…]

After installing clojure, then the latest clojure-contrib port (see Ticket: 22752 ), I start up clojure and try to load from the clojure-contrib library, but I don't get very far.

Clojure 1.0.0-
user=> (require 'clojure.contrib.str-utils)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate clojure/contrib/str_utils__init.class or clojure/contrib/str_utils.clj on classpath:  (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)

I tried setting the CLASSPATH manually to include the clojure-contrib.jar file which was installed in /opt/local/share/java/clojure/lib, but I still get the same problem.

This may be a bug in the clojure port's clj script; it ignores $CLASSPATH.

The correct way to add elements to the classpath appears to be via the .clojure file:

$ echo /opt/local/share/java/clojure/lib/clojure-contrib.jar >> .clojure
$ clj
Clojure 1.0.0-
user=> (require 'clojure.contrib.str-utils)
nil
user=>

However, I have a patch to make it respect $CLASSPATH.

Patch to clj.sh to respect $CLASSPATH

Patch looks fine for me, I'd go ahead and commit it.

Same patch for the rlwrap version

This issue still happens on Clojure 1.2.0. For example, I'm seeing the following issues:

Clojure 1.2.0
user=> (take 10 fibs)  
java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: fibs in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:2)
user=> (require 'clojure.contrib.str-utils)
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate clojure/contrib/str_utils__init.class or clojure/contrib/str_utils.clj on classpath:  (NO_SOURCE_FILE:0)
user=> (. Math pi)
java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: pi (NO_SOURCE_FILE:4)
user=> (triple 10)
java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: triple in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:5)
