You can take the binary files if you want to run the system as a pure Java application. If you want some non-Java support libraries such as APR, you'll want to compile them or grab pre-built 64-bit binaries. > Is there any difference between building it from source and > directly taking > binaries which are i guess compiled on 32-bit machines. 'No' for the Java files (they're bytecoded and then compiled to machine code on the target machine - hence the notion of a virtual machine). 'Yes' for support files such as the Apache Portable Runtime, but none of those support files are required in order to run Tomcat. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
