I'm running mythbuntu 8.10. I want to install apache ant, after having installed sun-java6-jdk.

How can I make it not get GCJ? I don't want that stuff.
Or am I missing the point here, and won't it install GCJ at all?

How can I get ant on my computer? Thanks :)

There is a launchpad bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/96423) dealing with this.

You can work around it typing on the console (for karmic):



sudo apt-get install ant ant-gcj- ant-optional-gcj- gcj-4.4-base- libgcj-common-
Hope it helps
