Failed to load configuration

I searched the archives and only found 3 messages, none of which were 
pertinent.  I've googled and still can't find any clear direction.

Colophon:
   - Debian Linux (etch)
   - Tomcat5.5
   - java version "1.5.0_15"
     Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_15-b04)
     Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode)
   - Xindice 1.1

Process:
   1) Install (and verify) Tomcat
   2) Download/Extract Xindice 1.1
   3) ./build.sh
     - Saw numerous errors related to deprecated calls, but the .war 
built fine
   4) Copied the .war to webapps dir (in my case, 
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/webapps)
   5) Restarted Tomcat
   6) Went to http://localhost:8180/xindice
   7) Got the error listed below

All I've found so far searching is information regarding XML Parser 
conflicts, but the error message listed in the FAQ is not here.  AFAIK 
Xerces is indeed what is being used.  If indeed this is a Xerces error, 
can anybody help me figure out which of the gazillion .jar directories 
is being examined first so I can copy the right .jar to the right place?

I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance.
