You need signpost-core-1.2.1.1.jar and commons-codec-1.3.jar in classpath. 
These jars are in the lib directory of the distribution.

Let me know if you still run into issues.

I have mistakenly taken the jars from some other location.
Now the code is working fine 

Thanks for your kindly support.

in fact, I had this error as well. And both jars mentioned above were in 
classpath...

I could only fix it by changing the order of the referenced JARs to this:

linkedin-j.jar
commons-codec-1.3.jar
signpost-core-1.2.1.1.jar

any other order didn't work for me

I had the same error, fixing the import order to the above order fixed it. 
Thanks ;)
