Has anyone encountered this error message when building the Android source under Ubuntu 8.04?

Install: out/host/linux-x86/bin/apicheck
Checking API: checkapi-last
build/core/api/1.xml:273231: error 1: required string: "method"

I have run into the same problem under ubuntu 8.04. Do let me know if you found a solution to this problem.

The problem was caused since I was pointing to a older version of java. Updating to java 1.6 and running the following solved the problem:
sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Thanks for the info. I ran the update command and it did fix this problem. Unfortunately the build ran into this problem further into the make:

I'll try a fresh sync and see what happens.
