Comrades:

As unreasonable as it sounds, I have spent more than 80 hours trying to get dspace 1.8.2 installed on an Amazon amzn-ami-pv-2012.09.0.x86_64-ebs instance.

What I have downloaded and installed:
apache-maven-3.0.4
apache-ant-1.8.4
apache-tomcat-6.0.36

The postgres user inits and starts the database.

The dspace user is created, both as a postgres user and as a (Linux) system user.

I unzip dspace-1.8.2 into /var/project.

While in the dspace-1.8.2-release/dspace directory,  I call mvn package, but it says that the project does not have a pom.xml file, which of course it does, right there in the current directory.  In desperation, I run the mvn as root (all of the postings say that it has to be run by the "dspace" user), and it proceeds downloading for about four minutes, but I suspect problems when the last line of the cascade of message from maven is "Cannot include project artifact: org.dspace:dspace:pom:1.8.2; it doesn't have an associated file or directory." and "The following patterns were never triggered in this artifact exclusion filter: ":war:"

(Keeping in mind that I have taken 20 or 30 or more paths through the various combinations of sudo and su and cd and init and createuser and adduser, this is just the latest) -- When I now run ant fresh_install, I get "Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/lib/tools.jar.  Buildfile: ..dspace-1.8.2-release/dspace/target/dspace-1.8.2-build/build.xml"  init_installation:  BUILD FAILED

The "process" can't find the pom.xml, it can't find tools.jar, and I'm not sure what else is wrong....

I will pay someone who will reveal the secret(s) of getting dspace 1.8.2 installed on an amazon ec2 instance.  None of the dozen or so "recipes" I have found on the Internet work.
