OK. I downloaded three RPMS for 4.1.24, installed them, edited /etc/tomcat4/tomcat4.conf, and started tomcat inside /etc/rc.d/init.d using "tomcat4 start". I've now connected to localhost:8080 and gotten the Tomcat welcome page.

Thank you for the advice.

You don't really need to build tomcat from source. Download a binary
distribution, install it, then explore the examples.

Looks like you are build tomcat. Am I correct? Read building.txt carefully.
It tells you which package you need to download and *unpack*.





Yes, I'm trying to build Tomcat. I want to explore JSP and servlet programming in Java.

The instructions I was following are from <http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/building.html>. It seems to suggest that with only a build.xml and perhaps build.properties, everything should download and work happily. There's another way? I'll look around for it.
