Importing clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions

I download the clojure 1.2 and clojure-contrib-1.2.0.jar from the download site.

And I found the info about the math functions.

As is shown in the example, I tried to run the code.

(ns your-namespace
  (:require clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions))
(println (abs 10))

But, I got the following error, when I run as follows.

CLOJURE_JAR=/Users/smcho/bin/jar/clojure.jar:/Users/smcho/bin/jar/clojure-contrib-1.2.0.jar
java -cp $CLOJURE_JAR:$CLASSPATH clojure.main SOURCE.CLJ

What might be wrong?

Try :use instead of :require

(ns your-namespace
  (:use clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions))
(println (abs 10))
10
nil

Require makes the symbol (abs in this case) available, but you'd have to fully qualify it. Use imports the symbol into "your-namespace":

(ns your-namespace2
  (:require clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions))
(println (clojure.contrib.generic.math-functions/abs 10))
10
nil
