Hi there, I'm pretty much totally new to linux and am having some build problems with Dspace which I believe is because I don't have my Ant optional tasks working.
Basics I'm using Suse Linux Enterprise Server version 10 with sp 1 I downloaded and installed java - jdk-6u2-linux-i586.rpm As well as "ant-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm" and "ant-apache-regexp-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm" I also installed postgresql 8.1 I downloaded dspace source tarball When I run ant fresh_install from the dspace download directory I get a build failed error:88 no regular matching expression found (that's why I downloaded and installed "ant-apache-regexp-1.6.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm", but didn't help) When I run ant -diagnostics it says the optional tasks are not available. From what I understand if the "ant-optional" jars are not installed properly I would get the build error I'm getting so that's the direction I'm currently looking in but I'm open to suggestions. I'm attaching the output from ant -diagnostics ------- Ant diagnostics report ------- Apache Ant version 1.6.5 compiled on February 9 2007 ------------------------------------------- Implementation Version (JDK1.2+ only) ------------------------------------------- core tasks : 1.6.5 optional tasks : not available ------------------------------------------- ANT_HOME/lib jar listing ------------------------------------------- ant.home: /usr/share/ant ------------------------------------------- Tasks availability ------------------------------------------- ccmkdir : Not Available propertyfile : Not Available importtypelib : Not Available vsscheckin : Not Available p4reopen : Not Available image : Not Available csc : Not Available sshexec : Not Available wlrun : Not Available p4label : Not Available p4revert : Not Available replaceregexp : Not Available jjtree : Not Available jarlib-display : Not Available jspc : Not Available test : Not Available vsshistory : Not Available icontract : Not Available p4submit : Not Available scp : Not Available ccmcheckin : Not Available p4change : Not Available p4delete : Not Available vssadd : Not Available p4integrate : Not Available translate : Not Available cclock : Not Available chown : Not Available vajload : Not Available jarlib-available : Not Available rexec : Not Available WsdlToDotnet : Not Available jpcovmerge : Not Available ejbjar : Not Available stlist : Not Available serverdeploy : Not Available ildasm : Not Available cccheckin : Not Available ccunlock : Not Available wljspc : Not Available telnet : Not Available sosget : Not Available p4sync : Not Available ccmklabel : Not Available p4edit : Not Available maudit : Not Available antlr : Not Available netrexxc : Not Available ftp : Not Available jpcovreport : Not Available ccmcheckout : Not Available xmlvalidate : Not Available p4resolve : Not Available ccmcheckintask : Not Available iplanet-ejbc : Not Available native2ascii : Not Available ccrmtype : Not Available starteam : Not Available vsscheckout : Not Available soscheckin : Not Available mimemail : Not Available stylebook : Not Available stlabel : Not Available cab : Not Available splash : Not Available ccmkbl : Not Available cccheckout : Not Available p4have : Not Available jdepend : Not Available jsharpc : Not Available symlink : Not Available script : Not Available ccmcreatetask : Not Available rpm : Not Available attrib : Not Available mmetrics : Not Available echoproperties : Not Available junit : Not Available stcheckin : Not Available chgrp : Not Available vajexport : Not Available stcheckout : Not Available p4labelsync : Not Available vsscreate : Not Available ejbc : Not Available vbc : Not Available wsdltodotnet : Not Available junitreport : Not Available ccmkattr : Not Available ccupdate : Not Available renameext : Not Available vsslabel : Not Available vsscp : Not Available vajimport : Not Available p4fstat : Not Available setproxy : Not Available wlstop : Not Available p4counter : Not Available ilasm : Not Available soscheckout : Not Available jarlib-resolve : Not Available ccuncheckout : Not Available jlink : Not Available javacc : Not Available jarlib-manifest : Not Available pvcs : Not Available ccmklbtype : Not Available sound : Not Available scriptdef : Not Available mparse : Not Available blgenclient : Not Available jjdoc : Not Available ccmkelem : Not Available javah : Not Available ccmreconfigure : Not Available p4add : Not Available soslabel : Not Available jpcoverage : Not Available depend : Not Available vssget : Not Available ddcreator : Not Available ------------------------------------------- org.apache.env.Which diagnostics ------------------------------------------- Not available.
