Hi Jim, I am using the binary distribution of Fop regularly.
I have xerces.jar and xalan.jar in /Library/Java/Extensions/ however I have no tools.jar or classes.zip in /Library/Java/Home/lib I have the following in the xml-fop lib dir: $ls lib BSF.license.txt batik.jar classes src CVS bin logkit-1.0.jar stylebook.jar ant.jar bsf.jar org xalan-2.2D11.jar ant.license.txt buildtools.jar readme xerces-1.4.3.jar which the build process finds and seems to include on the Classpath: >>Building with classpath >/Library/Java/Home/lib/tools.jar:/Library/Java/Home/lib/classes.zip:lib/ant.jar:lib/batik.jar:lib/buildtools.jar:lib/xerces-1.4.3.jar:lib/xalan-2.2D11.jar:lib/jimi-1.0.jar:lib/logkit-1.0.jar I have set to following in .bash_profile: export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home export ANT_HOME=/Users/stephen/devtools/jakarta-ant-1.4.1 The systems stops on the very first <taskdef> element in the build. <taskdef name="serHyph" classname="org.apache.fop.tools.anttasks.SerializeHyphPattern"/> There are no classes in the anttasks dir for the taskdef to link "serHyph" to: lib/org/apache/fop/tools/anttasks/ Are these already supposed to be there from an earlier element of the build process? >It worked just fine for me from the very start.
