Hi, all

I installed ant 1.6.5 and setup the ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME correctly. But after relogin (to make sure the environments to be correct) when run ant it reports:

>>>>>>>>>>
Ant could not find the task or a class this task relies upon.

This is common and has a number of causes; the usual
solutions are to read the manual pages then download and
install needed JAR files, or fix the build file:
- You have misspelt 'native2ascii'.
  Fix: check your spelling.
- The task needs an external JAR file to execute
    and this is not found at the right place in the classpath.
  Fix: check the documentation for dependencies.
  Fix: declare the task.
- The task is an Ant optional task and the JAR file and/or libraries
    implementing the functionality were not found at the time you
    yourself built your installation of Ant from the Ant sources.
  Fix: Look in the ANT_HOME/lib for the 'ant-' JAR corresponding to the
    task and make sure it contains more than merely a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.
    If all it contains is the manifest, then rebuild Ant with the needed
    libraries present in ${ant.home}/lib/optional/ , or alternatively,
    download a pre-built release version from apache.org
- The build file was written for a later version of Ant
  Fix: upgrade to at least the latest release version of Ant
- The task is not an Ant core or optional task
    and needs to be declared using <taskdef>.
- You are attempting to use a task defined using
   <presetdef> or <macrodef> but have spelt wrong or not
  defined it at the point of use

Remember that for JAR files to be visible to Ant tasks implemented
in ANT_HOME/lib, the files must be in the same directory or on the
classpath
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


The ant-nodeps.jar is really in $ANT_HOME/lib/, and if I explicitly set:
export classpath=$ANT_HOME/lib/ant-nodeps.jar
It works well.

The documentation said that the jar files in $ANT_HOME/lib will be discovered by ant automatically, but it appears not.

I am using Fedora 5 and jdk 1.5.0_06.

Anybody know how to fix it?

Thanks.
