Helllo  Holger,

Thanks for your help.  I have the problem sorted (I think).  I added
JAVACMD=${JAVA_HOME}/bin in /etc/profile.  However ant would not  run as su.
I decided to run as root to do the installation.
It did run as su with the  JAVACMD line hashed out.  But  I was unsure  why a
reference to  the java compiler was not needed and I deleted the installation
and restarted.
I last used ant(version1.4) with building the jdbc drivers for 7.2.1 .  I do
not know if JAVACMD is still needed  to be set (for the 7.3/7.4 versions of
postgresql).   Pleasse advise.

regards
CT
