Re: tomcat 4 jsp compilation status?

[Don Smith <smithdc@UMDNJ.EDU>]

I've had some trouble building tomcat, in that it states..
/upstream/src/share/org/apache/jasper/compiler/JspUtil.java:79: Class or 
interf
ace `javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException' not found in import.

now i thought jaxp was a part of gcj, but just to be safe i tried 
compiling xalan and got the following error

gcj3 -C --encoding=8859_1

I just want to get things working before i mess with them, any ideas as 
to what the problem is?
