Error when application starts

[scottlgs]

I'm trying to work through some installation issues with alfresco and thought I would post here to see if anyone has any ideas that might help. 

* I'm running the 64bit version of Fedora Core 6.
* I have installed Tomcat 5.5.17 via RPM and verified it is working.
* I also have MySQL 5 installed and working.
* I have downloaded the MySQL java connector v3.1.14 and copied the jar file mysql-connector-java-3.1.14-bin.jar to /usr/share/tomcat5/common/lib.
* I have created the alfresco database and the alfresco user for MySQL.  I have verified the alfresco user can log in from localhost.
* I've downloaded the alfresco-community-war-1.4.0.tar.gz archive.  I then extracted the alfresco.war file to disk and used the Tomcat Manager interface to deploy the alfresco.war file.  The deployment goes OK, but when I restart Tomcat or attempt to manually start Alfresco I get the following error in the Tomcat Manager.

FAIL - Application at context path /alfresco could not be started

The catalina.out file contains information about a dependancy error, but I don't follow what it is exactly complaining about.  Can any one lend me a hand here?  Thanks!

Try to update to the Sun JVM instead of using GNU's.
