Strange Error while compiling open-xchange-gui

Hello,

I get an error while compiling open-xchange-gui:

I'm on SuSE Linux 10.0 (vserver, 2.6.9-023stab043.1-enterprise #1 SMP). I used the how-to from http://wiki.open-xchange.com.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Ok, I found the problem. SuSE 10.0 has an old version of ant in its repository. I had to add a JPackage mirror to /etc/apt/sources.list in order to get a new version of ant. (>=1.6.5)
