Problem building ant

[JaiBalani]

Hello all,
I am facing a problem while building ant
when i do ./ant after creating the build.xml file i get this error
/root/apache-ant-1.6.5/bin/build.xml:1: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
my build.xml file contains

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!-- Build file for our first application -->

<project name="Ant Open Office Project" default="build" basedir="/usr/bin">

<target name="build">

<javac srcdir="src" destdir="build/src" debug="true" includes="**/*.java"/>

</target>

</project>


CAN ANYONE HELP BY FINDING SOME ERROR OR GIVING SOME OTHER WAY TO BUILD ANT ON FEDORA CORE 3

It sounds as if you may not have a (the correct) XML paraser in your classpath.
