I am installing tomcat from source. I have painstakingly followed all of the directions to do so, and have made modifications to build.xml where necessary. After a long struggle, I have reduced my problem to the following: ******************** Buildfile: build.xml prepare: tomcat: [javac] Compiling 5 source files to /usr/local/src/build/tomcat/classes [javac] /usr/local/src/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1-src/src/share/org/apache/jasper/compiler/JspCompiler.java:136: Method getClassName(java.lang.String) not found in class org.apache.jasper.compiler.ClassName.

Every step of the install has had some small little detail that needed tending to, and I've finally reached this point, where it appears that I've done everything I can do to get past this and still don't have all my ducks in a row. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. -- Mike Ford Web Developer, WorkFlow Integrators, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.wfiinc.com
