Hi, Michael, Glenn, thank you for your help.
Michael , i think with opensuse its a bad idea to ignore the repository / software management way of downloading and installing software. the system can get in a real mess. its far better to let it put the software where it wants to. Glenn, this is a brand new install of opensuse 11.4, and i installed ant via the package manager, so yes, it does come listed as repository. I downloaded ant_optional_1_4_1.jar separately, as i got the "depend.Depend" class not found, so i assume that it did NOT come downloaded with the opensuse version of ant? Any ideas on how to fix this (surely new opensuse install and new ant download, should have everything i need?) Many thanks for your help.
