You appear to be trying to create a Liferay v6.0 Tomcat Runtime and then pointing the directory to a Liferay v6.1 Tomcat runtime (notice the 6.1.1 in the install path). So go back to the previous screen and choose Liferay v6.1 Tomcat Runtime instead. If you don't have v6.1 then you need to make sure you have the latest version of Liferay IDE installed (lastest version is 1.6.1).
