Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/Main

Would anyone have any ideas on why I am getting this error when running:

/jakarta-tomcat# sh build.sh

This is Slackware.

Thanks in advance.

The most likely cause is that you do not have Ant installed (and built)
where the script thinks it is (../jakarta-ant relative to where your Tomcat
sources are).  The README file in the top level directory has detailed
instructions on what has to be where.
