Re: [las_users] LAS 6.5.1.12 installation problem

[Jonathan Callahan <Jonathan.S.Callahan@xxxxxxxx>]

Roger,

We have had some difficulties trying to support different versions of 
java and Tomcat with a single LAS release.

I would invite you to try the most recent release of LAS which was just 
added to the downloads page:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/LAS/Downloads/

You may again need to recompile the LAS java code by typing 'make' in 
the top level directory but I am hopeful that this version of LAS will 
solve your problems.  Please let us know if it does not.
