I face the same problem with:

APR integration isn't yet fully part of the Tomcat distribution, as
far as I can tell (I think it's misleading of them to enable the APR
listener on startup, because it makes you think you're supposed to use it).
I'm not sure how stable the Tomcat developers consider the APR
integration, so if you're at all concerned about that, it's probably
easier to just comment out the Listener instead.
If you want to use the APR libraries, first read
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html to see if there are
precompiled binaries for your platform (Windows only, AFAICT). If not,
(a) install APR (http://apr.apache.org); if you use Linux, your
distribution may ship the APR in a package.
(b) compile libtcnative-1.so by unpacking
$TOMCAT_HOME/bin/tomcat-native.tar.gz and following (most of) the
instructions there; NOTE if you don't need openSSL support, be
warned that --without-ssl switch did not work for me with
tomcat-native-1.1.0 (ships with 5.5.12; 1.1.1 with 5.5.14-beta did
honor that switch).

Thank you all. I was able to recreate and resolve the problem on
another machine (not the production server). Here's the procedure I followed.
1. Clean install of JRE 1.4.2_03. This is intentionally an older
version to recreate environment on the production machine.
2. Clean install of Tomcat 5.5.14.
During installation, initially encountered the error: "Failed to
install Tomcat 5 service. Check your settings and permissions". This
was due to fact that, after uninstalling previous version of Tomcat,
the Windows service was marked for deletion but not removed. I ran
the INSTSRV utility to remove the service, but it
failed. Apparently, this issue was encountered only because the
Windows Services manager was open on the desktop. After closing and
reopening, the service was gone, and Tomcat could install normally.
3. Starting Tomcat encounter the JVM error:
"This release of Apache Tomcat was packaged to run on J2SE 5.0 or
later. It can be run on earlier JVMs by downloading and installing a
compatibility package from the Apache Tomcat binary download page."
4. Deployed the compatability patch (by copying the files into Tomcat
'bin' and 'common' folders).
5. Restarting Tomcat encountered the APR error:
"The Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in
production environments was not found on the java.library.path".
6. Edited Tomcat 'server.xml' (in the 'conf' folder). Removed the line:
<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener" />
7. Restarting Tomcat, everything works fine!
