Good morning Rob, I have setup CAS 3.0.7 on a RHEL 5 box recently (past month) and experienced the same issues. The problem is that gcj is the only Java compiler that Redhat supports and uses it to compile (among other things) Tomcat 5.5. If you want to use RHEL 5, which I prefer, then you need to do the following:
1. Remove the yum installed Apache Tomcat 5.5 2. Download and install necessary Sun Java rpm/binary 3. Download the Apache Tomcat 5.5 binaries and unzip/tar them; /usr/local/tomcat-5.5.x.x with a sym link to /usr/local/tomcat 4. Download and install Apache Ant; /usr/local/ant-1.x.x with a sym link to /usr/local/ant 5. Setup the necessary environment variables in /etc/profile JAVA_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, ANT_HOME 6. Download CAS and follow instructions on deploy WAR as necessary As far as our current environment, I have two CAS boxes on RHEL 4 & 5 virtual machines on VMware. Granted this is still a test environment as I am still trying to get cluster/replication setup between the two boxes. =P Anyone have a checklist for dummies on configuring firewalls for multicasting?

At this point, I'm getting a bit desperate -- before I recommend a different solution to the college, I'd like to make one last-ditch effort by taking the RedHat distribution out of the equation. If any one could kindly answer a few questions for me, I'd greatly appreciate the time: - What distribution has the greatest chance of successfully compiling and deploying Maven/CAS? - Are there any recommendations on pre-built packages/RPMs for these distributions that would facilitate this? Ideally, they'd be available with the distribution itself. - Have any pre-configured distributions been compiled into an ISO or even something along the lines of a VMWare appliance been released from which we can use as a base starting or reference point?
