Problems installing Ant

["Anderson, James H [IT]" <ja...@citigroup.com>]

I must be doing something incredibly stupid! I'm trying to do a build on
unix; here's the output of the build:

$ ./build.sh
... Bootstrapping Ant Distribution
... Compiling Ant Classes
error: Can't read: src/main/org/apache/tools/bzip2/*.java
error: Can't read: src/main/org/apache/tools/tar/*.java

error: Can't read: src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/condition/*.java
11 errors
... Failed compiling Ant classes !
Bootstrap FAILED
$

The problem appears to be that all the directories shown above are empty.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Hate to ask the obvious, but, did you download the Ant source 
distribution or the binary?

The source distribution is called jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.tar.gz

The binary is called jakarta-ant-1.5.1-bin.tar.gz
