The APR based Apache Tomcat Native library ... was not found (but I have it)

Question

I'm running some software and getting the following error regarding apr not being found. I saw that it wasn't there, so went to the apr folder, ran ./configure and ./make and ./make install.

It created files in /usr/local/apr/lib.

I then created the folder mentioned in the Tomcat log:

/root/Kony/KonyServer/tomcat/instance1/bin/tomcat-native-1.1.29-src/jni/native/.libs

and copied the files in here:

-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848    8351 Apr 13 19:35 apr.exp
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848 1352604 Apr 13 19:35 libapr-1.a
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848     826 Apr 13 19:35 libapr-1.la
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848  736579 Apr 13 19:35 libapr-1.so
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848  736579 Apr 13 19:35 libapr-1.so.0
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 10848 10848  736579 Apr 13 19:35 libapr-1.so.0.4.5

I even gave them a 777 mask and the owner/group matches the parent. It still gives me the error below.

Can anyone offer any help?

I had a similar problem working in Debian and I fixed it using:

apt-get install libtcnative-1 

and uncommenting APRLifecycleListener in server.xml.
