Could not initialize class clj_http.client__init

[dgellow]

Hi, I am getting a CompilerException when I'm trying to use clutch in my project.

Do you have any idea on what is happening ? I'm a bit lost.

Some informations :

$ lein version 
Leiningen 2.5.0 on Java 1.7.0_71 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
$ lein clean ;; just to be sure
$ lein deps  
$ lein repl
;; nREPL server started on port 50281 on host 127.0.0.1 - nrepl://127.0.0.1:50281
;; REPL-y 0.3.5, nREPL 0.2.6
;; Clojure 1.6.0
;; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_71-b14
;;  [...]

;; okay, so I'm in a REPL session, I try to require clutch
freedom-wars.server => (require '[com.ashafa.clutch :as clutch])
;; CompilerException java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError, 
;; compiling:(com/ashafa/clutch/http_client.clj:1:1) 

;; `use` gives me a different exception
freedom-wars.server=> (use 'com.ashafa.clutch)
;; CompilerException java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
;; Could not initialize class clj_http.client__init, compiling:(com/ashafa/clutch/http_client.clj:1:1) 

I cannot reproduce the problem from the clutch repo. If I clone the master branch, launch a REPL and require the namespace it works.

My project.clj is based on chestnut (My only change is that I have add clutch as a dependency):

Hmm … It's maybe a problem from chestnut, seems similar to this issue.
