Clojure 1.9 command line tools - command not found clj.sh

I have just installed clojure 1.9 on my mac via Homebrew.

As expected I get 2 links in /usr/local/bin to the actual executables

clojure@ -> ../Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358/bin/clojure

clj@ -> ../Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358/bin/clj

running clojure from the command line works $ clojure Clojure 1.9.0 user=>

but for not for the command line tools $ clj zsh: command not found: clj.sh

both executable files exist $ ls Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358/bin clj* clojure*

I've tried uninstalling clojure with brew uninstall and have deleted the cached version of clojure-tools-1.9.0.358.tar.gz in my ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/ directory.

Installing it again was successful

    $ brew install clojure
    ==> Downloading https://download.clojure.org/install/clojure-tools-1.9.0.358.tar.gz ####### 100.0%
    ==> ./install.sh /usr/local/Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358
    🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358: 9 files, 19.4MB, built in 31 seconds

but still the same error.

Interestingly if I use the Finder to locate the file and double click on it, a new terminal window opens up and things seem to work.

    /usr/local/Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358/bin/clj ; exit;                             
    $ /usr/local/Cellar/clojure/1.9.0.358/bin/clj ; exit;
    Clojure 1.9.0
    user=>

Any ideas please on why this executable won't run directly from the command line?

Many thanks

The problem was that I'd set up an alias for clj in my shell profile file which referenced a shell script called clj.sh that I'd written but which no longer exists - hence why nothing happened except an error message. Removing the alias from the shell profile file corrected the problem.
