Unable to start any kafka processes

Question

The instructions for starting kafka from the quick start page do not work for me.

http://kafka.apache.org/07/quickstart.html

Kafka builds great

05:55:01/kafka-0.8.1-src:58 $sbt package
[info] Set current project to kafka-0-8-1-src (in build file:/shared/kafka-0.8.1-src/)
[info] Packaging /shared/kafka-0.8.1-src/target/scala-2.10/kafka-0-8-1-src_2.10-0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar ...
[info] Done packaging.
[success] Total time: 0 s, completed Apr 17, 2014 5:55:07 AM

But does not work fine.

05:55:07/kafka-0.8.1-src:59 $bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/zookeeper/server/quorum/QuorumPeerMain

Similar errors occur for kafka-server-start.sh and all other scripts inside bin
