Hi all:
This sounds like such a simple question: what is wrong with my apache-ant setup to result in a NoClassDefFoundError?
...
About my setup (from a clean term!):

Any pointers here?

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure if this will help. But here are some suggestions:
- 'echo $CLASSPATH' (just to double check that it is what you think it is)
- check that the ant lib dir contains the necessary JARs
- 'sh -x /usr/local/ant/bin/ant', which would run the ant shell script in debugging mode
