Error: Could not load cryptix.jce.provider.md.MD4

[bodiam]

Hello all,

I'm pretty new to this Alfresco thing, but I try to install it on my Ubuntu (JDK 1.5 + Tomcat 5.5) machine. First I received an error about mysql, but that is corrected by disabling the skip-networking options. However, having fixed that, I receive this error:

INFO: Illegal access: this web application instance has been stopped already.  Could not load cryptix.jce.provider.md.MD4.  The eventual following stack trace is caused by an error thrown for debugging purposes as well as to attempt to terminate the thread which caused the illegal access, and has no functional impact.

I have no idea what it means. I also have the following stacktrace:
