unset you CLASSPATH and try again. A common problem.

I tried a number of things. I tried building jdbc1 as well. and I tried

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.
