As suggested by J.Levitt (his message is included below),
I have re-verified my installation.
- I unzipped the DITA-OT 1.0 distro under Derby's trunk/
- ant is 1.6.2:
>> ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004
- Paths are correct:
>> echo $CLASSPATH
/opt/trunk/lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar:/opt/trunk/lib/batik.jar:/opt/trunk/lib/fop.jar:/opt/DITA-OT1.0/lib/dost1.0.jar:/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_07/jre/lib/rt.jar
>> echo $PATH
/usr/local/apache-ant-1.6.2/bin/:/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_07/bin/:~/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11
- I have just today updated my Derby installation:
>> svn update
At revision 159582.
With all this, I am still getting the same error as before.
I also tried the DITA OT 1.0.1beta, and get the same errors.
Perhaps it is a problem somehow unique to my installation
(on Debian testing).
thank you all for the assistance,
