Charles,
The xml-commons-apis error went away when I installed the xml-commons-apis
package from Scientific Linux. I complained that this wasn't very good
behaviour. They blamed it on somebody else. Looks like I will have to
hunt down a party who will take the responsibility to fix it.
But anyway, that problem is gone, and I'm back to the exact same issue
as before.
I tried it with ANT_HOME set to the proper value, and unset.
No difference.
I tried it with /etc/ant.conf present and removed. This changed something
with the package installation but not with the /usr/local version. In
any case it didn't result in a build.
We're getting into a big tree of options here.
Java versions
Ant versions
config file present/not present
environment variables set to various things
My impression is, although I hit some snags, the problem remains consistent.
Since you guys don't recognize this, I have to guess the problem lies
either in Scientific Linux, or in our particular configuration method.
I will look into those details next.
Cheers!
