Unless you're hacking on clojure itself you don't need to build it,
there's a pre-built jar file in the zip you downloaded (clojure.jar).
So you won't need ant (ant is a like make for Java).
So you can just do what it suggests at "To Run" to launch a REPL.

Reading the getting started page on the website will get you further
still : http://clojure.org/getting_started

If you do need ant then a more modern distro will make your life much
easier (eg. apt-get install ant).

Docs can always be improved, however if you're stuck at the ant step
you haven't really done enough with clojure to comment on it's
deployment story.
