I keep getting this error message while installing ant, servletapi, tomcat on a machine running Debian (upgraded from slink to potato) with the IBM Java2 SDK. My PATH includes $JAVA_HOME/bin, where javac resides. mybox:# java -version java version "1.3.0" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0) Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build cx130-20001124 (JIT enabled: jitc)) Here's what's odd. I ran './bootstrap.sh' in the ant directory, and the build failed with: "Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available". AT the end of my rope, I reinstalled the SDK: ant bootstrapped successfully! I immediately tried './build dist' in the servletapi (3.2) src directory, and got the same error: "Cannot use classic compiler, as it is not available". I've tried changing the <property name="build.compiler" value="classic"> line in build.xml, disabling the jit compiler, etc, to no avail. I installed the same setup on another machine with no problems. The only differences I can identify are: 1. The working installation's IBM J2RE build is earlier: cx13020000623 2. The working installation had a fresh Debian potato install (no upgrade), and perl 5.005 instead of perl 5.004.
