-**OR**, check out Morten Werner Forsbring's dummy NAV package, which depends on all of the above.  See the following nav-users posting for details: https://postlister.uninett.no/sympa/arc/nav-users/2008-02/msg00001.html . Be aware that NAV doesn't run well under the //kaffe// Java VM, which is why you should confirm that Sun's Java JDK is installed (''sun-java6-jdk'').
+Be aware that NAV doesn't run well under the //kaffe// Java VM, which is why you should confirm that Sun's Java JDK is installed (''sun-java6-jdk'') and is the active alternative for the ''java'' and ''javac'' commands:
+<code>
+sudo update-alternatives --config java
+sudo update-alternatives --config javac
+</code>
 Next, NAV's build time dependencies:
 <code>
-sudo aptitude install ant autoconf libsnmp1.4-java python python-cheetah sun-java5-jdk
+sudo aptitude install ant autoconf automake libsnmp1.4-java python python-cheetah sun-java5-jdk make
 </code>
 ===== Unpacking and building NAV =====
 <code>
-tar xvzf nav-3.5.2.tar.gz
+tar xvzf nav-3.7.0.tar.gz
-cd nav-3.5.2
+cd nav-3.7.0
-autoconf
 ./configure CRICKETDIR=/usr/share/cricket
-export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/libsnmp-1.4.jar:/usr/share/java/postgresql.jar
+export CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/libsnmp-1.4.jar
 make
 sudo make install
 </code>
+Note: avoid using -j when calling make. It will break the build, since make tries to run many ant processes with interdependencies at the same time.
