Description Bart Vanbrabant 2008-01-12 10:20:22 UTC
Description of problem:
Ant searches for the antRun helper script in /usr/share/ant/bin but it's
installed in /usr/bin. This results in an ioexception.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ant-1.7.0-1jpp.2.fc8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a build.xml file with following contents in a directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="test">
    <exec
      executable="echo" vmlauncher="no">
      <arg line="'Hello world'"/>
    </exec>
</project>

2. Run 'ant' in that directory
3. Watch the output :)
  
Actual results:
Buildfile: build.xml

BUILD FAILED
/home/bart/Desktop/build.xml:4: Execute failed: java.io.IOException: Cannot run
program "/usr/share/ant/bin/antRun": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file
or directory

Total time: 2 seconds

Expected results:
Buildfile: build.xml
     [exec] Hello world

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

Additional info:
I fixed it on a machine where I really needed it by symlinking the helper script
to the right directory.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 09:24:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 05:46:25 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 3 Matt Weaver 2009-07-21 20:49:10 UTC
I am able to reproduce this problem in Fedora 11.  Not sure what needs to be done to "reopen this bug against that version," but it seems to still be a problem (at least in some cases)
