java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - Mailing list pgsql-committers

I was reading the email trail about this error message posted by and Ernst Jan and Dave Cramer on: Date: 10 Feb 2003 16:37:51 -0500

 and I can't figure out what the advice is to fix the problem.

Could you please help?

I get the this error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver

        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:199)

        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:141)

        at ResetPass.update(ResetPass.java:23)

        at ResetPass.main(ResetPass.java:44)

and I do have classpath set to where pg73jdbc3.jar is located via:

export CLASSPATH=.:~/lib

javac TestApp.java

java TestApp

but I still get the error message.

All I do is:

import java.sql.*;

 public class TestApp

 {

   public static void main( String argv[] ) throws 

     java.sql.SQLException, java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

   {

     Class.forName( "org.postgresql.Driver" );

     String url = "jdbc:postgresql://dbhost:5432/test";

     Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection( url, "test", "xxxxxxxx" );

   }

 }

I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
