Try :
./bootstrap.sh
./build.sh install-lite

you are probably hit by remnants of older versions of ant in the bootstrap dir.

Hi

I am upgrading from 1.5.3 and am having a few problems. I get the
following failure when I try to build the 1.6.1 source on a Dual G5

This looks as though it s using an old ant version, but the old 1.5.3 ant is no longer
in any path. I also tried using the binary distribution but got


java.lang.InstantiationException: org.apache.tools.ant.Main
        at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:293)
        at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:261)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:196)
        at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:56)

(This also happened on a Linux box). The JAVA_HOME, ANT_HOME, CLASSPATH
and PATH are all seem to be set correctly as far as I can tell - it certainly was ok for 1.5.3.
The problems certainly look like paths not being set up correctly, but I am at loss
to see which.


Any help here would be appreciated.

TIA
