hi folks, last time I was able to build ant for an application, but that I did with another machine. I have installed Red Hat 9 on my laptop and also downloaded jdk needed from the java.sun.com. I have checkedout ant module via the CVS from the apache-ant site. when I try to run, ./build.sh install I get the following error:
---------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ant]# ./build.sh install Warning: JAVA_HOME environment variable not set. If build fails because sun.* classes could not be found you will need to set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the installation directory of java. Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly. We cannot execute java Bootstrap FAILED ---------------------------------------------------- I guess that the problem may be the following: I have set up the JAVA_HOME environment variable correctly. i.e. JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1_08 and have added PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin export JAVA_HOME However, when I open a new shell and type java -version in that it gives java version "1.3.1" jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj) gcj (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. However, if I go to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1_08/bin and type java -version I get java version "1.3.1_08" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_08-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_08-b03, mixed mode) This should appear if I type java -version in any directory since I have added that path. Seems, that java installed with the Red Hat 9 is overiding it. I looked it in the packages with redhat-config-packages so that I could uninstall it but I could not find a package name for java installed in my systems in the developments section. Can someone tell me how to stop this overiding, in fact I want to uninstall this open source java and use only the sun distribution for linux. I think, If I am able to do this, I will be able to successfully build the ant. Thanks, Regards, Rebel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
