Nope, it's what shipped with FC4. tomcat5-5.0.30-5jpp_6fc.
Very odd. Are you using the rawhide java-1.4.2-gcj-compat?
What does "rpm -q java-1.4.2-gcj-compat" say on your box?

Odd that a package that shipped w/ FC4 is dependent on a package
that didn't.
It shouldn't. In FC4 (and rawhide until recently) jta was provided by
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat. A couple of weeks ago it was changed to come
from geronimo-specs-compat, to make switching JVMs work properly.
Pulled in & installed those two. "service tomcat5
start" now
works. Looks like the manager is home at
http://taltos.localdomain:8080/manager/html.
Cool.
At http://taltos.localdomain:8080 I get a white screen of death,
which makes sense as there is nothing in $CATALINA_HOME except
the balancer directory.
Sounds like you don't have tomcat5-webapps installed...

Cool. I took it out.
Nice work ;)
