Hi,

I am running into the following error when trying to run ant:

Problem: failed to create task or type runtarget

I am building on a mac 10.8.3.

Prior research has suggested that I add ant-contrib-0.3.jar to my ANT_HOME installation directory, which I have done (that had actually gotten rid of another 'failed to create task or type' error)

I used ant-contrib-0.3.jar because research suggested that this jar is mapped to the line:

< taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" />
which is in the build.xml file I am using.

The project builds on windows machines ( I even got it to build using https://code.google.com/p/winant/ ) but am trying to get it built on a mac. I am thus not looking to change the build.xml file.

An example of the run target line is:

<target name="setPASProps" depends="" description="setup the properties">
    <property name="systemname" value="PAS"/>
    <runtarget target="setSystemProps"/>
</target>
Here is some info from running ant -diagnostics
