Guys, I feel you're seeing thing way too complicated.
Chris: > IIRC, Tomcat loads tcnative without a version number in it's name even > when it prefers a version that is of a certain level. I don't believe you're right, since when I upgraded Tomcat5.5 having an old version of tcnative installed, Tomcat 6 refused to start requiring a more recent version of tcnative. André: As I wrote on top, you can tell Catalina where to look for libtcnative. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH should do the trick, but I wouldn't set it system.wide since this variable is also requested from other processes. A change here might have impacts. Therefore, just pass it as a Java-property to Catalina and let Catalina know where to look for it: Just adapt the CATALINA_OPTS in Tomcat's startup-script: CATALINA_OPTS=$CATALINA_OPTS -Djava.library.path=[path to where libtcnative is located] Doing so, you can run as many different versions of Tomcat referring to different version of libtcnative. Cheers!
