Hi Tim,

I hope I'm not misunderstanding your issue but have you tried this:

sudo ant -Duser.home=$HOME frameworks.install

I noticed that the wiki was updated recently.

Aloha,

I get the same result on OS X Mavericks. And yet this exact procedure used to work and didn’t used to seek the built frameworks in /var/root/Roots. That’s a bit strange to me. I’m pretty sure the legacy need for the sudo was because it was required to install into /Library/Frameworks - unless you changed permissions on that directory. In any case, anyone who reads the build directions and follows them may very well hit this same wall. So, we definitely should make a change.
