It sounds like your running into a similar problem I did. It unrelated to Tomcat, rather its Java. The package libgcj (I think) installed this shell script in /usr/bin called java. The way my PATH is setup is that this java was found before Sun's JDK (which I installed by RPM). I ended up deleteing this shell script (/usr/bin/java) as well as /usr/bin/jar, and /usr/bin/javac. After that Sun's JDK was correctly found. The libgcj points to something in /etc/alternatives which points to something else....I got a few explanations on here a while back which is probably in the archives... I'm willing to bet if you delete these shell scripts everything should be okay. I have them installed because I'm using Eclipse IDE which is when I think the problem surfaced. I haven't tried using Eclipse since then, but I'm sure it'll be fine :) Ryan -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Benjamin J. Weiss Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 7:04 PM To: Redhat List Subject: Tomcat5 on RHEL AS3? Has *ANYBODY* managed to install this <censored> package? I think the subject says it all. I've set up my server and installed RHEL AS 3.0 on it. I'm beginning to long for the days of M$, where all I had to do was run a <censored> .exe file, and it ran. *sigh* Okay, I downloaded something that purports to be an "executable" from the jakarta project, but the readme says that I have to have Java installed. Okay, I couldn't find any java packages installed, so I tried "which java", which showed a /usr/bin/java. Cool, so I try running it. I get some text message stating that it's nothing but a place holder for some other stuff. ack. So I try up2date java. no dice. I can't find the j2sdk or jre or anything recognizable, and I'm afraid to download Sun's because it might break whatever was installed by the installer! Has *ANYBODY* installed tomcat5 on a virgin RHEL AS 3 install? Is there a coherent HOWTO anywhere? I've been googling and downloading crap for two hours now, and I'm about at my limit. Thanks!
