Prblm with Tomcat 4.1.x & 5.x (but 4.0.x works)

[Ola Theander]

Dear subscribers

I've tried to get Tomcat 4.1.x or 5.x to work on my FreeBSD 5.3 server,
unfortunately without success so far. The problem seems to be with the
Tomcat's bootstrap code. Whenever I start Tomcat, using the startup.sh
script, I get the following error, pasted below, in the Catalina.out log.
Note that it seems like the 4.0.x version works fine although I haven't done
any extensive testing, i.e. just tried the default page at localhost:8080.

This exception is thrown when starting Tomcat:

I've installed Java according to the specification on the
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/java-tomcat/x60.html
site which is a document I've found for installing Tomcat and the SDK seems
to be OK. The SDK I use is the linux-sun-1.4.2_05

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Ola Theander
