Basic gradle question

I have installed gradle and i am at least trying to get the most basic of build running but nothing. I have tried to run the sample project that comes with gradle. From this directory

$GRADLE_HOME/samples/userguide/multiproject/firstExample

i run this command

gradle hello

and this is output

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.gradle.Main).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.


gradle -v 

gives me this:

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 0.8
------------------------------------------------------------

Gradle buildtime: Monday, September 28, 2009 2:01:59 PM CEST
Groovy: 1.6.4
Ant: Apache Ant version 1.7.0 compiled on December 13 2006
Ivy: 2.1.0-rc2
Java: 1.6.0_20
JVM: 16.3-b01-279
JVM Vendor: Apple Inc.
OS Name: Mac OS X

Any ideas ???

Another problem could be that the unarchiving tool you used does not restore file permissions. This hint is mentioned in the documentation of gradle.

For Un*x users

You need a GNU compatible tool to unzip Gradle, if you want the file permissions to be properly set. We mention this as some zip front ends for Mac OS X don't restore the file permissions properly.

Check that the JAVA_HOME and GRADLE_HOME variables are defined correctly and that your unzipped distro is not corrupted or missing any files.

I would upgrade to the latest version, 0.9-rc-3, even though it is not a "stable" release.
