First of all, if you are using Debian, Debian packages are ready for use. Take a closer look at http://metanav.uninett.no/navdownload

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/administrator/nav-3.3.3/src'

NAV 3.3.3 is quite old. 3.4.4 is the latest stable version. 3.5.0 is in beta and a final release is just around the corner.

Building Util ... (cd Util && /usr/bin/ant ) && touch Util Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-4 .1-1.4.2.0/lib/tools.jar Buildfile: build.xml

If you are still interested in debugging this instead of using the Debian package: You are using gcj (GNU Java Compiler) 1.4.2, while NAV requires Java SDK >= 1.5.0. On Debian etch, I recommend installing Sun's Java 1.5.0 by running `aptitude install sun-java5-jdk` as root and then use the update-alternatives command to set the new Java installation as the default one.

Or, easiest of all, use the provided Debian packages, and it will be taken care of for you.
