Re: Still not able to build

The Longwell build requires Ant 1.6. The <import> task wasn't added
until 1.6.

My suggestion is to get the Longwell version of Ant ahead in your
path or somehow remove the one Redhat installed. Using the Longwell
provided build script seems best to start with in your case.

My preference would be for the SIMILE projects not provide Ant
itself, but require it as a prerequisite.
