I think you are confusing the EPEL8 packages. Redhat does not provide a tomcat-native package.
The challenge with EPEL is that the packages are often quite old. tomcat-native-1.2.35 (Aug 2022) where the latest release of 1.x is 1.3.1 Same is true for the EPEL8 tomcat packages tomcat-9.0.65 (july 2022) where the latest tomcat 9 is 9.0.98 EPEL8 does not even have tomcat 10 -- Evan ________________________________ From: Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> Sent: February 4, 2025 2:18 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org <users@tomcat.apache.org> Subject: Re: Building tomcat-native on RHEL 8 Darryl, On 2/3/25 1:17 PM, Darryl Baker wrote: > Would someone please point me to the documentation on building tomcat-native > on RHEL 8 using the Red Hat supplied APR package? Do you need to build from source, or can you use the RHEL binary? $ sudo yum search tomcat-native ===== Name Exactly Matched: tomcat-native ===== tomcat-native.x86_64 : Tomcat native library If you truly need to build, we can probably update the documentation to indicate which popular packages would be necessary before building from source. -chris
