+First we need the Java SDK installed. See
+http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/general/j2sdk.html.
- Install FOP by running:
+Now install JAI:
+ - Download jai-1_1_2_01-lib-linux-i586-jdk.bin from
+ http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/downloads/download-1_1_2_01.html
+(download the version for the JDK Install).

- cd /opt &&
- tar -xzvf /usr/src/fop-0.20.5-bin.tar.gz &&
- mv fop-0.20.5 fop
+Next install ANT:
+ - download http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/source/apache-ant-1.6.2-src.tar.bz2
+ - tar -xjvf apache-ant-1.6.2-src.tar.bz2
+ (recent versions of tar will warn about "A lone zero block at 33476" but

+ - cd apache-ant-1.6.2 && \
+ ./boostrap.sh && \
+ ./build && \
+ install -d /opt/ant && \
+ cp -r dist/* /opt/ant
+ - edit your bash profile to set ANT_HOME=/opt/ant and PATH=$PATH:/opt/ant/bin
- Now set JAVA_HOME, FOP_HOME and PATH to values appropriate to your system.
+And finally install FOP:
+ - download http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/fop-0.20.5-src.tar.gz
