Try running this with the updated code from SVN. Does it now at least show the line where the error occurred?

The defect is titled "XML exception when not providing a GS3 path to GLI" but from the output it looks as if GSDL3HOME and GSDLHOME have been provided (or at least identified):

Checking GSDL3: /home/daven/research/greenstone3-ui/customizingGreenstone3 JRE_HOME: /opt/jdk1.6.0 Your environment has successfully been set up to run Greenstone3 Checking GSDL: /home/daven/research/greenstone3-ui/customizingGreenstone3/gs2build Your environment has successfully been set up to run Greenstone Checking Perl: /usr/bin/perl Checking Java: /opt/jdk1.6.0/bin/java

What should I do to reproduce this bug?
