installation - How to install tomcat-native without need to install development utils

    I am using tomcat on a RHEL machine. When starting tomcat, i get the following warning:

    INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was no 64:/usr/lib64:/lib64:/lib:/usr/lib

    Then i tried to install the native library. The tomcat documentation says i need to compile it by myself.

    But this would require to install ant, a jdk, a c-compiler and some *-devel packages. I don't want to install those bloaty stuff on my production server just to be able to install a certain library.

    Am I the only one having this problem? Is there someone who uses tomcat-native on a production server without having compilers installed there?

    Thanks, Andre

    You want to build a War. The build process should take care of this for you. You should be able to deploy the war (web archive) file to Tomcat without worrying about copying class files. This is a much more reliable method of deploying applications.
