Ant 1.6 installation

I'm trying to install Apache Ant 1.6 and have updated the following entries
within */etc/profile* to ensure that the installation is complete.

JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_18
*ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache2/apache-ant-1.6.0*
export JAVA_HOME PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC ANT_HOME
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH:*ANT_HOME/bin
*
The problem is that when I run ./ant -version from any other path other than
the command line, the version number is displayed.  Hence any user trying to
use *ant* from any other path would not be able to do so:

*
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_18/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:ANT_HOME/bin:/home/sinfo/bin
[sinfo@triton2 /]$ ./ant -version
-bash: ./ant: No such file or directory
[sinfo@triton2 /]$ cd $ANT_HOME/bin
[sinfo@triton2 bin]$ ./ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.6.0 compiled on December 18 2003
[sinfo@triton2 bin]$*

There are lots of asterisks scattered all over your

This one looks wrong --------------^

See? ------------------------------------------------------------------------^^^^^^^^

ANT_HOME wasn't expanded properly when you set PATH.

‘./’ will try to look for the ‘ant’ executable under the current working directory.

 

Try issuing the command,

 

[sinfo@triton2 /]$ ant -version

 

instead of,

 

[sinfo@triton2 /]$ ./ant -version

 

 

Hope this helps!
