A common problem. Peter I tried a number of things. I tried building jdbc1 as well. and I tried >building postgresql myself without using rpms. no luck.

What are those 4 jars used for anyway? One for each type of JVM. Place the one your your JVM version (and only one) into your CLASSPATH then try running with it. PS: In Java you don't compile against a .jar file, you just use it. In fact in 90% of use, you don't need the .jar file to be present to compile.
