installation failure using ANT with 7.3 CVS - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

I was trying to build 7.3 on my ppc/gnu-linux box. It's just a little
iMac (perfectly all right for most stuff). Builds work ok but the ANT
installation target fails (the relevant console messages are below).


This could be for several reasons:

- maybe I really don't have enough memory to copy the target
  directory to the destination

- maybe my java (blackdown 1.3 for PPC) is broken somewhere

- maybe there's a problem with ANT


However, I fixed this problem by altering the Makefile so that it did
the installation on behalf of the Java code. Here's the new
installation target:


# The install target used to do this:
#    $(ANT) -buildfile $(srcdir)/build.xml install \
#      -Dinstall.directory=$(javadir) $(properties)
install: installdirs
    cp jars/postgresql.jar jars/postgresql-examples.jar $(javadir)


If the installation mechanism must rely on the build mechanism then
I'm not sure how to fix this.
