Thank you. I've now successfully built ant under Red Hat 6.2.
There were two problems:
1. The CLASSPATH in bootstrap.sh was pointing to classes.zip. There should be a conditional to test for JDK 1.2+ and replace that with rt.jar and i18n.jar.
2. $PATH should be added to the end of the PATH redefinition so that the appropriate VM is used.
I hope that building the rest of tomcat is easier.
Thanks, Ruben

I'll go get it. I guess others who compiled successfully on Linux already had it.

/usr/local/java is a symbolic link to /usr/local/jdk1.2.2

Ahh! Herein lies the problem! I found an extra javac in /usr/bin or some such
directory so got rid of it and progressed further. Some other problem came up but
I will tackle that tomorrow.
Many thanks!
