NEWBIE ant build.xml FAILED !!

Hi
I am new with postgres and still struggling with the
driver installation phase. I downloaded
postgresql-7.2.tar.gz. I also extract the ant tar file
and put the ANT_HOME/bin in the .bashrc PATH.
After running ./configure --with-java and gmake, I
ran ant in ../interfaces/jdbc where the build.xml file
is located. I encountered the following errors when
running ant.
The ant version is 1.4.1
Do I still need to edit the build.xml file manually?

Buildfile: build.xml

all:

prepare:

check_versions:

driver:    [echo] Configured build for the JDBC2 edition
driver

BUILD FAILED

/usr/share/mypgs/postgresql-7.2/src/interfaces/jdbc/build.xml:72:
Compile failed, messages should have been provided.

Can someone PLEASE help me with this problem?I don't
know where I'm going wrong. Can the problem be at ant?

Thanks
Nic
