Not that critical, especially at the OS level.
Building the connector from source is fairly easy. Assuming a GNU build
environment (check my Solaris HOWTO for details, linked off the same URL),
building mod_jk is:
Localhost #: ./configure --with-apxs=/some/path/to/apache/bin/apxs
--with-java=${JAVA_HOME}
Localhost #: make
Localhost #: make install
There should be a mod_jk.so file on your system at that point. Then you are
good to go. My RH and Solaris HOWTOs all detail how to build the connector.

Thanks, I'll try it.
But, your website matrix of connectors/OSs/server versions just misses
my setup on each detail---I'm running Apache 1.3.27 and Tomcat 4.1.12 on
Red Hat Linux 7.1; your matrix shows Apache 1.3.26, Tomcat 4.1.10,
RHLinux 7.2.
How critical are version numbers?
