Hi,
Thanks for your response. jdsdk is just a symlink to j2sdk1.3.0 (the
Blackdown Linux distribution.)
I'm using RedHat 7 now, and I can run the Java examples that come with the
JDK, and I can compile and run simple Java via javac on the command line.
But no luck with Ant. :(
fyi -
[lyra@grzzt lyra]$ rpm -qa | fgrep ava
[lyra@grzzt lyra]$
