Re: Barracuda: Compiling Barracuda - first time Barracuda user

Putting ANT_HOME/lib into the classpath is entirely useless since it is the 
jar file inside ANT_HOME/lib that require being put into the 
classpath.  Either way, the "ant" script does this for you so there is no 
need to put anything in your system classpath.  The "." is merely a 
convenience so that wherever you are in the shell, that directory will be 
put in the classpath.  Makes it easier to run command-line programs.

I didn't realize you were on MacOSX.  It seems to me, though that, somehow, 
another version of the org.w3c.dom package is getting into your 
classpath.  If it didn't find it at all I'd expect "NoClassDefFoundError" 
rather than reporting, for instance, not being able to find a method in the 
Node class.

I'd double check that you don't already have another version of Ant 
installed somewhere else on the system and when your run "ant", that is 
getting called instead of the one you think is being called.  The other 
thing you can do is try installing j2sdk1.4.x and trying that out.

Has anyone else on this list built Barracuda on MacOSX?  Can you report 
your results; good or bad?

Hang in there!
