Hi Frank, It seems that you do not have the 'ant-optional' package installed. This Ubuntu package provides several ant libraries, including 'ant-trax', whose absence, I presume, is causing the build error for you.
I suggest you try building again after installing this package using the command "sudo apt-get install ant-optional". Hope this helps.
