Compiling tomcat from source: Error listing.

[Mike Ford <mi...@wfiinc.com>]

I am installing tomcat from source.  I have painstakingly followed all
of the directions to do so, and have made modifications to build.xml
where necessary.  After a long struggle, I have reduced my problem to
the following:

********************

Buildfile: build.xml

********************

At this point, I am getting to my wit's end.  Every step of the install
has had some small little detail that needed tending to, and I've
finally reached this point, where it appears that I've done everything I
can do to get past this and still don't have all my ducks in a row.  If
anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
