Ok, this should have been fixed by Jon. I don't have a Linux machine (yet),
since someone in Dublin turned off my build machine, but I'll try to have
someone to start it up back again (darn!)...
Otherwise I'll just install RH71 on my slow-as-hell Pentium @ home...

This is probably because of the library... If you build APR as a static
library (instead of a dynamic one) you should get rid of it... To do that,
simply in the APR directory do:
./buildconf
./configure --prefix=[your path for install] --enable-static \
--disable-shared
make
make install
Then switch to your tomcat/connectors directory and do
./buildconf
./configure --with-apr=[your path for install - prefix of APR config] ....
And it should link it against libapr.a, instead of libapr.so...

Ok, that's my fault... I'll update the docs by Tuesday/Wednesday (as I need
to finish a couple of things related to security in JSR-096/Java Daemon
API).
