solr ubuntu and tomcat

Has anyone else had any trouble running solr on ubuntu with the apt installed tomcat? (Not a download from apache.org)

I'm having a bear of a time.

On Debian Etch I managed to get Solr working by setting TOMCAT_SECURITY=no in /etc/default/tomcat5.5 

The same solr.xml (Context) on Ubuntu fails with the NoClassDefFoundError as if I had not set solr/home in the context -- however both SOLR/HOME and the docBase are correct (ie they are there, owned by tomcat55.adm with liberal permissions 777)

Any thoughts? Anyone else have a similar experience?

Thanks.
