That's exactly it, Nic!!I've been able to successfully build idv on my laptop (where I have root permission and can modify the /etc/ant.conf file) and it worked perfectly. It indeed was a problem with an older version of ant. Thanks all for the help!

I have run into strange build errors with ant, only when I use the one that came with Linux. The problem is that it isn't using the correct version of java. You can display your version with something like...<echo message="Using Java Version ${java.version} For Compilation"/>in your build script. When you install a new version of ant it should pick up JAVA_HOME, but when you use the one that came with the system you might see something like:[echo] Using Java Version 3.5-tree-ssa For CompilationIf you ever see this version of Java, you can probably expect strange results.That might explain things.

I spent about 3 hours trying to get ant to work without giving me aException in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launchererror. Finally, I tried doing the following command: java -jar <path_to_new_apache_and>/lib/ant-launcher.jar idvjar And it worked!!! Sorry for the wasted bandwidth, but thanks for the help! -kevin.
