Martin, I ran into this with FC5. What you have to do is use the command "ls -l" and follow all the links (there are quite a few) to where FC puts Tomcat in its distribution. It's the same with Eclipse. You'll have to follow the PATH and CLASSPATH variables as well.
What I did was install eclipse and TC under /usr share and changed the CLASSPATH and PATH. Seems easiest to me. I'm moving from FC5 to FC6 soon. Because FC does these things with the install of TC, Eclipse, Evolution.... If I can opt not to take these on the install I will and just download and install TC, Eclipse... myself. --- Martin Dubuc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I guess most of us have wondered at one point or > another what this > message means: > "INFO: The Apache Tomcat native library which allows > optimal performance > in production environments was not found on > java.library.path" > in the catalina.out log. > > Only recently have I spent time trying to figure out > the meaning of > this message.
