I've successfully enabled the apr native on linux CentOS 32 bit following some simple steps:
Install apr and openssl dev required files yum install openssl-devel apr-devel Install jdk, tomcat and set JAVA_HOME; accordlin to my conf JAVA_HOME is /usr/java/latest and tomcat is in /home/tomcat/tomcat-6b Get tomcat native (I used the 1.1.18 version) Before compiling is useful to test that tomcat is fully working (eg. cd ~; cd tomcat-6b/bin; sh catalina.sh run) Native: untarring tar zxvf tomcat-native-version-src.tar.gz (version=1.1.18 in my env) compiling: ./configure --with-apr=$(which apr-1-config) --with-java-home=$JAVA_HOME --with-ssl=yes --prefix=/home/tomcat/tomcat6-a make && make install Now native libs are in /home/tomcat/tomcat-6b/lib Edit catalina.sh adding: CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=/home/tomcat/tomcat-6b/lib" Restart tomcat and verify that the message complying the missing apr is gone ... If you set CATALINA_HOME env, you can optionally use --prefix=$CATALINA_HOME The apr will be put in $CATALINA_HOME/lib The same procedure on linux 64bit doesn't work The tomcat native libraries now are put under $CATALINA_HOME/lib64 ll lib64 total 2448 -rw-r--r-- 1 tomcat tomcat 1577256 Dec 18 11:11 libtcnative.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 tomcat tomcat 865 Dec 18 11:11 libtcnative.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat tomcat 21 Dec 18 11:11 libtcnative.so -> libtcnative.so.0.1.18 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tomcat tomcat 21 Dec 18 11:11 libtcnative.so.0 -> libtcnative.so.0.1.18 -rwxr-xr-x 1 tomcat tomcat 884518 Dec 18 11:11 libtcnative.so.0.1.18 drwxr-xr-x 2 tomcat tomcat 4096 Dec 22 09:28 pkgconfig I've added in the catalina.sh the following CATALINA_OPTS="$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=/home/tomcat/tomcat-6b/lib64" And again, after tomcat is started i find the missing apr messages ... Dec 22, 2009 9:59:16 AM org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: /home/tomcat/tomcat-6b/lib64 ... Any suggestion?????
