When attempting to build Jruby from source following the installation instructions the following error occurs:
----------------------------------------------
run-junit:
[junit] Testsuite: org.jruby.test.MainTestSuite
[junit] Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.tools.ant.util.FileUtils.close(Ljava/io/Writer;)V

BUILD FAILED
C:\temp\jruby\build.xml:311: Test org.jruby.test.MainTestSuite failed (crashed)
----------------------------------------------

It appears that the ant.jar in the lib directory is included in the build.classpath of the build.xml file. This ant.jar is version 1.5.

I was able to workaround this problem by doing either of the following:
a) removing ant.jar from the lib directory
b) modifying the build.xml file to exclude the ant.jar file from the build.classpath
<path id="build.classpath">
<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="*.jar" excludes="jruby.jar,ant.jar"/>
</path>

This worked on both Windows XP and Mac OS X.

Perhaps the ant.jar in the lib directory should be removed or updated. Or perhaps the build.xml file should be tweaked as noted.

Just did an update from subversion and noticed that I no longer needed to make any changes to successfully build JRuby. Thanks!

I have this problem also, on Mac OS X. The ant.jar in lib is really old. Removing it (or presumably, upgrading to a later version) fixes the issue for me.

I made the suggested change to build.xml, to exclude the ant.jar and got through most of the tests, but failure occurred much later:
I use win xp, Java 1.6, Ant 1.7, JRuby1.0RC2

I saw the same issue today with RC2 on OS X. I removed ant.jar from /lib and it now builds fine with Ant 1.7

Just to update my experiences, my earlier update was false. I only had the issue not happen one time. Every subsequent update from svn still has the original problem mentioned in the description of this bug.

@Geoffrey Bays: I am getting the same error and (as you have already noticed, but just for others) there is a bug report on this:
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-947

Please take another look at this issue, it seems that a few people are still experiencing this issue.

It seems we can just delete ant.jar permanently and everything works fine. So maybe that's a good approach for now? I think we're probably going to ditch the serialization stuff anyway, which will make this moot, but in case we don't this seems like a good approach.

We've resolved this in an extremely creative and innovative way: we deleted ant.jar. Yay! There's some additional cleanup needed to remove the taskdef we needed ant.jar for, but it's on the way (we voted that particular taskdef out just today).
