Without buying support, I see no way to report a bug on either JasperForge.org or JasperSoft.com. I worked around the problem by manually copying the jar file into the tomcat6 lib directory. So far, JasperServer works fine - I am impressed.

Permissions is not the problem. I did the install from root. Tomcat 6 does not have a common/lib directory - a change from Tomcat 5. The JasperServer professional doc says that the mysql-connector jar would be installed in the Tomcat 6 lib directory. But the community edition apparently does not know about this issue. Is there a fix or workaround?

I tried installing 3.7 on a Fedora 10 64 bit Linux with existing MySQL and Tomcat 6. I had to install the glibc 32-bit to get around one error, then almost completed the installation, when the installer said could not put the mysql-connector jar into the tomcat common/lib. It is well known that Tomcat 6 no longer has a common/lib. I don't want to go back to Tomcat 5. Could this be fixed or worked around, somehow?
