Sorry, I just sent an empty message to the list, apologies...(keyboard shortcuts can be a bad thing).
Are you trying to run Tomcat as a service? You shouldn't really have any problems of this sort if you just go for the non-service binary version of Tomcat (http://mirror.public-internet.co.uk/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.20/bin/ apache-tomcat-5.5.20.zip for Windows or http://mirror.public-internet.co.uk/apache/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.5.20/bin/a pache-tomcat-5.5.20.tar.gz ). You should be able to run this as any user, just by executing the startup.bat or startup.sh scripts in the bin directory. I never had to compile any additional components under this setup, it works straight out of the box for any user on either platform.
