1. You don't need tools.jar in your path, you need it in your
classpath.
2. *.class NEVER, EVER goes into a lib folder, only *.jar does.
In short, undo everything that you have done since you installed
Tomcat. Make sure that you set your JAVA_HOME correctly (this will add
tools.jar to the classpath in most configurations). If that doesn't work,
then add tools.jar to your classpath.
