Hi Stuart, Tom, thanks for the input !

Here's the relevant bit from config.log:

configure:1916: checking whether /usr/local/ant/bin/ant works
configure:1939: /usr/local/ant/bin/ant -buildfile conftest.xml 1>&2
Buildfile: conftest.xml

BUILD FAILED
Unable to load default ProjectHelper due to
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/SAXException

Total time: 5 seconds
configure: failed java program was:
public class conftest {
int testmethod(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}
configure: failed build file was:
<project name="conftest" default="conftest">
<target name="conftest">
<javac srcdir="." includes="conftest.java">
</javac>
</target>

I just looked in /Library/Java/Home, and there are 2 aliases,
"doc" & "include", which lead nowhere, i.e. "the original item
could not be found". Is that normal ?

I have these set:
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant

Cheers,
Joel
