1. you can use <loadproperties> which will fail early if the file is
missing; may be useful.

i'll give that a try, but i'm positive the file is there. :)

2. this isnt a clearcase filesystem is it?

no, the filesystem on the Linux box is ext3.


3. there is something odd going on here, and it has to be the path is
not right, case wrong, or permissions. Linux is used a lot by the ant
developers, and we'd notice if <property file> failed.

i totally agree. :)  i've tried to verify each of the three things
you've mentioned multiple times.
i don't know a better way to verify the path.  i've cut & paste the
path into another terminal and am able to open the file in vi.
case shouldn't be an issue since the cut & paste technique should have
sorted that out.
i've changed my entire working directory structure and contents to 777
so it shouldn't be a permissions issue.
i'm really at a loss.  i agree it's weird.  i've used ANT on WinXP,
Mac OS, and Linux; but haven't used it on Linux in a year or two...

any other suggestions?  any other info i can provide that may help
diagnose the problem?
thanks again.

andy
