Actually, just a JRE for the current versions of Tomcat. 5.0 and below required a JDK. > I should be able to get this from any platform's binary distribution No, you have to use a JRE built for Linux. > and copy the classpath files > they should be compiled into bite code right? A JRE consists of much more than class files; the core of the JVM (object allocation, garbage collection, byte code execution, etc.) is written in C and C++ (plus a smidgen of assembler); the JRE API handlers that interface with the system are typically written in C. Consequently, you must have a JRE that has been built for your specific platform. > Is this what you meant Charles by getting the x86 version? Yes, assuming your OS supports some form of IA32 compatibility mode. > and then compile jikes to use it? This has nothing to do with Jikes - it's not needed. The 5.5 and above versions of Tomcat come with a built-in JSP and Java compiler. > 1. Get a JDK for any platform copy the stuff from the classpath into a > tarball then install that on the server. No - download and install a real JRE for Linux from the vendor of your choice. (If you're running Red Hat, I would expect them to have one available.) > 2. download and install jikes on the server setup the environment > variable CLASSPATH to point to the directory created above. No - none of this has anything to do with Jikes. > 3. Install tomcat? Yes, version 5.5 or above. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
