Yes, I'll second this.  I use ANT quite regularly under
OSF/1 (alpha).  All I did was unpack the binary distribution
then add the bin/ directory to my PATH.  It's worked fine
from there, without altering my classpath (I must admit,
I'm still using ant 1.3 -- but I doubt 1.4 will be significantly
different).
