org.apache.commons.logging.LogConfigurationException: No suitable Log constructor，NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Categor

在 debian4 上，用aptitude安装java5: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk

java -version 运行出来的版本信息类似于：

-------------------------------------------

java version "1.5.0_17"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_17-b04)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode, sharing)

--------------------------------------------

最后的那个sharing 很奇怪，如果安装的版本里没有这个信息，那么

aptitude install tomcat5.5

安装过的 tomcat ，就可能会和 log4j 产生一个冲突，错误类似于：

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

这时去检查一下 /usr/share/java 下的 commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar 文件的信息，ls -l 出来的如果大小是38015的话，换成一个大小是47724或者更大的的文件就可以了。在网上搜索了一下，只在http://fma.biostr.washington.edu/annoteimage/tmp/commons-logging-1.1.1/找到一个下载链接，但是文件大小更大，没有尝试，应当也是可以的。
