There is an "ant" file in the bin directory of the Ant installation. I
symlinked (see ln command) that into a directory in my path to get it
enabled on my Linux and Mac OS X boxes.
Do you not have a file simply called "ant" in the ANT_HOME/bin
directory? If not, then the distribution you installed is incorrect.
You may need to set it with execute permissions also (see chmod command).
