If you observed an error at this stage, it seems that you don't have all 
the required software installed.
On which platform do you try to install PerfSONAR 2.0 ? (All UNIX like 
OS should be fine...)
But just make sure that: (Using the native package management)
* wget is installed
* LWP (aka libwww is installed properly)
* ant package is installed
* Sometimes depending on the platform such as debian,ubuntu, nexentaOS, 
ant package is split in 2 parts. so make sure you have ant-optional
* gcc and its dependencies
* for RRD-MA you'll need package related to RRD development librrd2-dev


Also I STRONGLY recommend you to use the TOMCAT bundled by the installer.
And make sure your CLASSPATH , JAVA_HOME reflect the right path to the 
directory where reside the required jar file.
(Usually installer should cope with that without any issue....)

With PerfSONAR 2.0 it is possible to "mutualise" your TOMCAT with all 
the service installed in the same machine.
Install TOMCAT once during the first service installation. For the 
others, just select the path to the existing TOMCAT
during the installation process.

During the installation process, just create for each service a 
different user/password.
So for a collection in the eXist db you'll have a diffreent user.

So that at boot time TOMCAT will consider that each service would have 
it own collection.
If you need to administer your collections manually you could log into 
the eXist db through the following URL:

http://<YOURTOMCAT>/exist/admin/admin.xql

God luck with your installation.
