Unable to compile class for JSP error after installing Tomcat 4 4.1.24

[Jeff Self <jself@nngov.com>]

I just set up a new system. I'm running unstable since it has the newest
Tomcat4. I installed the j2re1.4 and j2sdk1.4 debian packages from
tux.org. I also installed tomcat4 (4.1.24). Java is working. I type java
-version and I get:

java version "1.4.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
Blackdown-1.4.1-beta)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-beta, mixed mode)

When I bring up Tomcat4 I get this:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP

An error occurred at line: -1 in the jsp file: null

Generated servlet error:
    [javac] Since compiler setting isn't classic or modern,ignoring fork setting.
    [javac] Compiling 1 source file
    [javac] Since compiler setting isn't classic or modern,ignoring fork setting.

Servlets are working, but not the JSP's.
