Apache Tomcat Connector

Question

Hello,
I have setup Solaris 10 OS on AMD64 and I am trying to build the JK connector for Apache2 with Tomcat5, but I am not having any success at all with neither the Solaris nor the GNU gcc compiler.
Did anyone compiled the JK connector on a i86 64-bit architecture? does anyone knows where I could find a compiled version of the jk_mod.so for AMD64 solaris or where I could get more information ?
Much appreciated,
Jeff

I'm also having trouble connecting the web server to a Tomcat server. I too downloaded the connector from Apache and built it using
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
because that's the only apxs on my disk, which I determined by running
sudo find / -name apxs\*
After installing mod_jk.so in /usr/libexec/apache2, I added the following in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf:
\\# Copied from http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/generic_howto/quick.html
\# Load mod_jk module
LoadModule jk_module libexec/apache2/mod_jk.so
\# Where to find workers.properties
JkWorkersFile /etc/apache2/workers.properties
\# Where to put jk shared memory
JkShmFile /private/var/log/apache2/mod_jk.shm
\# Where to put jk logs
JkLogFile /private/var/log/apache2/mod_jk.log
\# Set the jk log level [debug/error/info]
JkLogLevel debug
\# Select the timestamp log format
JkLogStampFormat "[%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y] "
\# Send everything for context /orgcharts to worker named worker1 (ajp13)
JkMount /orgcharts/* worker1
And my workers.properties file contains:
\# Define 1 real worker using ajp13
worker.list=worker1
\# Set properties for worker1 (ajp13)
worker.worker1.type=ajp13
worker.worker1.host=localhost
worker.worker1.port=8009
Now, when I attempt to start the web server, it doesn't come up, and it doesn't log anything, so I have no clue what's going on.
