Hi Benjamin,
For me seems that you didn't build the project using maven (i.e., mvn clean install). Hence, you probably have an empty gora-tutorial/lib/ folder. If not, I would recommend you to add the bin/ folder of gora to the PATH. -bash-4.1$ export PATH=$PATH:/home/gora-0.3/bin And then execute the compiler inside gora-tutorial folder. -bash-4.1$ gora goracompiler src/main/avro/pageview.json src/main/java/ Cheers, Emir From: Sznajder ForMailingList [mailto:bs4mailingl...@gmail.com] Sent: 14 August 2013 11:08 To: user@gora.apache.org Subject: Compiling Avro Schemas Hi I followed the tutorial given in http://gora.apache.org/current/tutorial.html When reaching the section Compiling Avro schemas, the command $ bin/gora goracompiler returns me: -bash-4.1$ bin/gora goracompiler gora-tutorial/src/main/avro/pageview.json gora-tutorial/src/main/java/ Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avro/Schema at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2451) at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2694) at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1622) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.getMainMethod(LauncherHelper.java:494) at sun.launcher.LauncherHelper.checkAndLoadMain(LauncherHelper.java:486) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.avro.Schema at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:366) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:355) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:354) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:423) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:308) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:356) How can I fix that, please?
