Hi. I have a completely stock install of tomcat 3.2 and JDK 1.3 on
solaris 2.6

I reconfigured my startupscripts to find my classpath and what not.  I
start up the Tomcat server and don't get any wierd error messages.  I
checked the output of the tomcat.sh start command get my classpath is
okay.

The example servlets work okay. When i try to run a jsp from the
examples it fails with the following.

Error: 500

Location: /examples/jsp/num/numguess.jsp

in looking at an extract of the /java/lib/tools.jar, i see there is
definatly a sun/tools/javac/Main.class in the tools.jar.

anybody got any idea what i'm doing wrong??  i'm totally stumped here.

the only wierd thing i have going on is that my /java is a link, but
when i put my real home in there, it doesnt work either.

thanks

bill
