Build error

Hi!
I just downloaded Tomcat 3.2.1 source, then followed the README to
build, unfortunately I got the following error message

BUILD FAILED

/usr/local/shih/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat/build.xml:94: Cannot use classic
compiler, as it is not available A common solution is to set the
environment variable JAVA_HOME
to your jdk directory.

I was sure that JAVA_HOME has been set to my jdk1.3.0_02 directory, and
I ran javac from command line without any problems, could someone
help me? Also, it seems Jakarta-ServletAPI subject no longer exists, is
it still required for building Tomcat?

Your help would be much appreciated,
Shih-Chin

Barbara:

Thanks for your response, actually I did what you said,
echo $JAVA_HOME gave me
/usr/java/jdk1.3.0_02 , which is where I installed JDK

The fact that javac runs may only mean you have the jdk directory in your
PATH environment variable.  If you are on unix, use the command
echo $JAVA_HOME 
to see its definition.  I think the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not
used by jdk at all.
