Newbie, just starting

Hi,

I have only been on this list a short while.

I am trying to get to grips with the jdbc driver,
and to this end have downloaded the cvs tree,
built the latest version of pgsql and am trying to build
the driver.

Initaillay I did
cd /inst/pgsql/src/interfaces/jdbc
ant

but this gave me the error given below,
so I tried cd /inst/pgsql
./configure --with-java --without-readline
gmake

it gave the same error,
I am using SuSE Linux 7.2 and jdk 1.3


Thanks for any advice.
