Clojure can't find .clj in local directory, . and ./classes on CLASSPATH

Question

When I evaluate (use \'hello) to load hello.clj, the REPL complains with the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate hello__init.cla         


        

Answer 1

Does hello.clj contain a (ns some-namespace) statement? If so, then same_namespace is appended to the each element of the CLASSPATH before looking for hello.clj
