I just downloaded the 5.5.12, untarred it to /var/tmp, cd
/var/tmp/apache-tomcat-5.5.12/bin, untarred jsvc.tar.gz, cd jsvc-src,
chmod 700 configure,  ./configure --with-java=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_05, make,
cp jsvc binary to $CATALINA_HOME/bin, edit Tomcat5.sh, chmod 700
Tomcat5.sh

and then ./Tomcat5.sh and it started.

contents of Tomcat5.sh (not including most comments):
