Tomcat5 on RHEL AS3? Has *ANYBODY* managed to install this <censored> package?

[Ryan Golhar]

It sounds like your running into a similar problem I did.  It unrelated
to Tomcat, rather its Java.

The package libgcj (I think) installed this shell script in /usr/bin
called java.  The way my PATH is setup is that this java was found
before Sun's JDK (which I installed by RPM).  

I ended up deleteing this shell script (/usr/bin/java) as well as
/usr/bin/jar, and /usr/bin/javac.  
After that Sun's JDK was correctly found.  

The libgcj points to something in /etc/alternatives which points to
something else....I got a few explanations on here a while back which is
probably in the archives...

I'm willing to bet if you delete these shell scripts everything should
be okay.  I have them installed because I'm using Eclipse IDE which is
when I think the problem surfaced.  I haven't tried using Eclipse since
then, but I'm sure it'll be fine :)

I think the subject says it all.

I've set up my server and installed RHEL AS 3.0 on it.  I'm beginning to
long for the days of M$, where all I had to do was run a <censored> .exe
file, and it ran.  *sigh*

Okay, I downloaded something that purports to be an "executable" from
the jakarta project, but the readme says that I have to have Java
installed. Okay, I couldn't find any java packages installed, so I tried
"which java", which showed a /usr/bin/java.  Cool, so I try running it.
I get some text message stating that it's nothing but a place holder for
some other stuff. ack.  So I try up2date java.  no dice. I can't find
the j2sdk or jre or anything recognizable, and I'm afraid to download
Sun's because it might break whatever was installed by the installer!

Has *ANYBODY* installed tomcat5 on a virgin RHEL AS 3 install?  Is there
a coherent HOWTO anywhere?  I've been googling and downloading crap for
two hours now, and I'm about at my limit.

Thanks!

Ben
