problems with ant

[Rob]

wondering if anyone has a clue what would cause this. i'm trying to run ant
and get the following error:

[root@web3 current]# ant
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/tools/ant/launch/Launcher

Info below, thanks!!

[root@web3 current]# export
declare -x ANT_HOME="/usr/local/ant"
declare -x JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05"
declare -x
PATH="/usr/local/ant/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin::/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/deployer/bin"

[root@web3 ant]# ls -l /usr/local/ant

seems like you don't have the ant.jar in your classpath. what shell is
that you're using? i usually run ant with bash.

anyway, follow this link http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html
for what environment variables you should have and you should be fine.
