Ah yes. Someone posted it to this list recently. Here is the relevent info...
Q: How do you get ant-1.6x (or versions later than 1.5.2-23) to work on on RedHat ES 3? A: Redhat ES 3.0 comes installed with ant 1.5.2. Even if you have your PATH and ANT_HOME variables set correctly to a later version of ant, you will always be forced to use the preinstalled version. To use a later version of ant on this OS you could do the following: # ant -version Apache Ant version 1.5.2-23 compiled on November 12 2003 # su - # rpm -e ant ant-libs # exit # hash -r # ant -version Apache Ant version 1.6.2 compiled on July 16 2004 > -----Original Message----- > From: Anderson, Rob (Global Trade) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 2:03 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: RE: Ant Exception Error > > > I have heard that you need to uninstall the ant rpm that came > with the distro in order to use a different version.
