Unable to get the canonical Fitnesse example to run - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError - fitnesse

Question

This test is from the Fitnesse user guide.
!path /Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/bin/myPackage
!path /Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/src/myPackage
!path /Users/mpalanisamy/Downloads/fitnesse-standalone.jar
!path /Users/mpalanisamy/Downloads/FitNesseRoot
!define TEST_SYSTEM {fit}
!|DivisionFixture|
|num|denom|quotient()|
|1|2|0.5|
|1|2|0.6|
|4|2|2.0|
And the system-under-test, and fixture code is as follows -
Division.java
package myPackage;
public class Division {
private double numerator;
private double denominator;
public Division(double a, double b){
this.numerator = a;
this.denominator = b;
}
public double divide(){
return this.numerator / this.denominator;
}
}
DivisionFixture.java
package myPackage;
import myPackage.Division;
public class DivisionFixture extends fit.ColumnFixture{
public double num, denom;
private Division d = new Division(num, denom);
public double quotient(){
return d.divide();
}
}
/Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/bin/myPackage - contains my .class files
/Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/src/myPackage - contains my .java files
When I run this test, I get the following error -
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: DivisionFixture (wrong name: myPackage/DivisionFixture)

at fit.FitServer.run(FitServer.java:56)
at fit.FitServer.main(FitServer.java:41)
The execution log has this -
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_91.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -cp /Users/mpalanisamy/Downloads/fitnesse-standalone.jar:/Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/bin/myPackage:/Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/src/myPackage:/Users/mpalanisamy/Downloads/fitnesse-standalone.jar:/Users/mpalanisamy/Downloads/FitNesseRoot fit.FitServer my_mac.local 53339 3863
- which tells me that my classpath is right, or that Fitnesse is aware of it.
FWIW, all files have rwxr-xr-x permissions.
Given the above, why do I get the NoClassDefFoundError error?
I have scoured through StackOverflow and incorporated most of the fixes, and still not able to get this simple example to run. Given the nature of the error, I am thinking the solution is something silly on my part, and / or related to configuration.
A screenshot of what I am seeing, in case that is helpful -

Answer 1

The problem turned out to be classpath, as the error indicated.
I had to change the classpath to the following -
!path /Users/mpalanisamy/learningfitnesse/myProject/bin
!define TEST_SYSTEM {fit}
And change the first line of my test table to -
!|myPackage.DivisionFixture|
