Thank you for your reply. I got ant using Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager.
I have ant version1.7.0 compiled on AUG-29-2007. I got nutch using the subversion svn command. I have not changed the build files. I am not using custom plugins, taskdefs, or jobs of any kind. I was trying to run the command 'ant package' in the /src/nutch directory. I tried just running the command '/src/nutch/ant' and the build was successful. Does that mean it worked??? Go figure. Thank you.
