So I guess buildr should give a meaningful error message. IIRC buildr documentation mentions something about this, saying one should not name it's projects 'build' 'compile' 'test'. Do you have something like?: define 'installer' do # ... define 'build' do #... end end Could you try using different project names, if the problem continues, please provide an overview of your project structure or a fragment from your buildfile. kind regards -- vic
