I don't have any other versions of Tomcat running - I do have Apache 2.2
running in the background, though. I'll give the compatibility package
a shot (we have to use the JDK 1.4 because we're using a third-party ECM
suite that needs that particular version). I assume I can't install
both on the same machine?

Are you sure you don't already have an instance of tomcat running, that
is not 5.5.
>From my readings TC 5.5 does need java 5/ jdk 1.5 but as the error
states you can use tc 5.5 with a "compatibility package", which are a
set of files that you can download from the same page where tc 5.5 is
downloaded from.
