Did you write it that way? CATALINA_home? Where did you define CATALINA_home?

Try something like

export CATALINA_HOME=/full/path/to/tomcat
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java (or where your j2sdk is installed)

cd $CATALINA_HOME/bin
./startup.sh

How familar are you with Linux and Unix in general, BTW?
