Hello, I am new to Jakarta and Tomcat, and I am having trouble building Tomcat. I'm sure that this comes up on the list alot, so I don't mean to beat a dead horse here. I've looked through and read all of the FAQs, looked through newsgroup archives on DejaNews, printed out hundreds of pages of documentation from the http://jakarta.apache.org/ website, and read all of the readme files and install documents. What I experience building Jakarta does not correspond with the documentation. I'm trying to build Jakarta 3.2. I've successfully built a usable Ant. However, when I try to build jakarta-servletapi with the build.sh script, I get the following message. Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/Main When I run ant with no arguments (assuming that it finds the build.xml flie), it appears to build ok. Is this normal? What is the correct way to build jakarta-servletapi? The docs say to run build.sh. When I try to build jakarta-tomcat from source, I get a similar error if I try build.sh, and when I try to build it with ant alone, I get tons of errors. I noted that previous versions of Tomcat included a taglib and a tools package. Where do I obtain these for the 3.2 release? They are not located in the directory at jakarta.apache.org where I found servletapi and tomcat. Is there a comprehensive source of documentation or a procedure for how to build this beast? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Erik.
