Hello. It looks like Tomcat 6.0.29 includes a version of Commons Daemon which includes (wrongly I think) several .o and .a files. I tried to compile "jsvc" by doing: ./configure ./make
And it failed with this message: "ar: libservice.a: Malformed archive" Then I realized that several object files (.a and .o) were in the distribution tarball. Probably they do not match my platform and this is why the make process failed. # tar tzf commons-daemon-native.tar.gz | grep "\.a" commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/libservice.a commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/windows/libprocrun.amd64 commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/windows/apps/prunmgr/prunmgr.amd64 commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/windows/apps/prunsrv/prunsrv.amd64 # tar tzf commons-daemon-native.tar.gz | grep "\.o" commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/home.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/debug.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/signals.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/arguments.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/dso-dlfcn.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/replace.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/location.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/dso-dyld.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/jsvc-unix.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/locks.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/help.o commons-daemon-1.0.2-native-src/unix/native/java.o Regards, Óscar Frías
