Postgresql-jdbc on Suse Linux

Question

Hi,
I am writing a Java Swing application on Suse Linux and want to add Embedded SQL to it. The application should interact with a PostgreSQL database running on my local machine. The compiler complains that it cannot find the org.postgresql package included in the code. I'm guessing the problem is that the classpath is not set properly. But when I try to add the postgresql-jdbc driver to the classpath using "export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/share/pgsql/pg73b1jdbc1.jar", the program stops recognizing the other Java files it uses. How do I set the classpath up properly?
Code sample:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing*;
import java.sql.*;
import org.postgresql.*;
public class MyClass
public static void main (String [] args)
MyFrame frame = new MyFrame();
MyPanel panel = new MyPanel();
// more code here
MyClass.java:4: package org.postgresql does not exist
import org.postgresql.*;
^
1 error
Any help is much appreciated.
Marina.

Hi, I figured it out - thanks to JimDinosaur's response, although to a different thread. I am posting a reply in case other people had the same question.
So, I had two problems: first, the package wasn't recognized; second, the rest of the Java files used by the code.
Jim suggested to use javac -classpath, listing all the directories needed, for the packages and the files. So I did, with the files directory being my current directory:
javac -classpath /usr/share/pgsql/pg73b1jdbc1.jar:. CloningGUI.java
Jim, you rock! :)
