ant is giving me a spurious "Unknown argument" error

[Deron Johnson <De...@Sun.COM>]

When I type:

./ant -version

I get the following error message:

Unknown argument: -cp
ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]]
Options:
  -help, -h              print this message
  -projecthelp, -p       print project help information
...

I'm not even giving it a '-cp' argument.

Any ideas what is causing this?

(I'm running on SUSE 9.3-Pro).

You probally have the jpackage verison of ant on your system.
Check the file /etc/ant.conf, it it exists then you do have the jpackage
version. This *CANNOT* be used with an ant version from the ant
distribution.
Just delete the /etc/ant.conf file or use ant --noconfig

you probably have an out of date ant rpm installed with your OS.
