I just tried this on Fedora Core 4. I get exactly the same error. I had two ideas when you mentioned a potential issue with the classpath. The first idea was that since Sun insists on putting Java in "Program Files" for Windows, the space was somehow creating problems.
The second idea is that I have my own installation of ant (with ANT_HOME set and ANT_HOME/bin in my path). Here are the steps I took to reproduce this on Fedora Core 4. Environment =========== Fedora Core 4 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 java 1.5.0_04-b05 in /usr/java linked from /usr/jdk1.5.0_04 no CLASSPATH export FORREST_HOME=/home/mdeggers/src/forrest export PATH=$PATH:$FORREST_HOME/bin Case 1 ====== 1. svn update -r 290585 2. cd $FORREST_HOME/main 3. ./build.sh clean 4. ./build.sh 5. cd $FORREST_HOME/plugins 6. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 7. cd $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins 8. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 9. cd ~mdeggers/src/sites-src/ 10. mkdir new-site 11. cd new-site 12. forrest seed 13. forrest I then unset ANT_HOME and removed ANT_HOME/bin from my path. I removed ~mdeggers/src/sites-src/new-site and did the following: Case 2 ====== 1. cd $FORREST_HOME/main 2. ./build.sh clean 3. ./build.sh 4. cd $FORREST_HOME/plugins 5. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 6. cd $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins 7. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 8. cd ~mdeggers/src/sites-src/ 9. mkdir new-site 10. cd new-site 11. forrest seed 12. forrest The same build error occured. I thought there might also be some issues with Java 5. I then tried switching to the following java version: java 1.4.2_08-b03 from /usr/j2sdk1.4.2_08 I removed the 1.5 version from my PATH, added the 1.4.2 bin directory to my PATH, and set JAVA_HOME appropriately. I then did the following: Case 3 ====== 1. cd $FORREST_HOME/main 2. ./build.sh clean 3. ./build.sh 4. cd $FORREST_HOME/plugins 5. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 6. cd $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins 7. ./build-all.sh (shell script for building all plugins) 8. cd ~mdeggers/src/sites-src/ 9. mkdir new-site 10. cd new-site 11. forrest seed 12. forrest Same error. This was with ANT_HOME still unset and $ANT_HOME/bin removed from my PATH. I have seen EOL (DOS vs. UNIX) problems cause similar issues in make files, but never in a Java environment. Thoughts on what I might be doing wrong (or different) would be greatly appreciated. /mde/ --- Juan Jose Pablos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mark Eggers wrote: > > This is on Windows/2000 Professional.
