IIRC we now require ant 1.5 to build JDBC. I would have thought you'd
get a more helpful message than that, though, if you have ant but it's
out of date. Do you have reason to think your ant should be working
(have you used it for anything else)?

The usual cause of this sort of problem is psql trying to link to a
non-compatible libpq.so, specifically a non-multibyte-enabled libpq
when psql was compiled with multibyte enabled. I suppose that your
dynamic link path was such that a 7.2 libpq was being found, and that
the problem went away when you either fixed the link path or installed
the 7.3 libpq.so.
