compile error of openjdk 7 on ubuntu 8.10

[ying lcs]

I tried icetea 7.

But i get the following error:

checking for eclipse-ecj.jar... no
configure: error: "A ECJ jar was not found."


And then I setup the classpath and stuff, it still complains the same error.


echo $CLASSPATH
/home/ying/programs/apache-ant-1.7.1/lib
/media/olddata/icedtea> ls -la
/home/ying/programs/apache-ant-1.7.1/lib/eclipse-ecj.jar
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ying ying 13 2008-12-08 16:58
/home/ying/programs/apache-ant-1.7.1/lib/eclipse-ecj.jar ->
ecj-3.4.1.jar
