Public bug reported:
Hi,
ant comes with /usr/bin/ant as a symlink to ../share/ant/bin/ant , thus
pointing to /usr/share/ant/bin/ant
But then, recent ubuntu versions such as Lubuntu come with /bin being a symlink
to usr/bin .
If /bin comes before /usr/bin in PATH, the shell finds ant at /bin/ant
and calls it as /bin/ant, thus beeing unable to resolv the relative
symlink:
% /bin/ant
/bin/ant: 1: cd: can't cd to /bin/../share/ant/bin/..
Error: Could not find or load main class org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher
It's a shellscript that can be started, because the Linux kernel itself
can deal with these nested symlinks, but the script itself tries to
resolv it's own path in order to find it's library and fails then.
Make it an absolute symlink or fix the shell script accordingly.
regards
