Having problems with importing a class

Question

I'm getting this error:
Main.java:14: Class Queue not found in import.
import Queue;
^
1 error
The two files are Queue.java and Main.java. Queue.java compiles fine. I get this error when i try to compile Main.java. I have no idea why it is doing it. This is Queue.java:
import java.io.*;
public class Queue{
private int MAX=0;
private String[] projectlist;
// Constructors
     public Queue() {
          projectlist = new String[MAX];
     public Queue (int size) {
          MAX = size;
          projectlist = new String[MAX];
     public void Print() {
          System.out.println(MAX + "\n");
And this is Main.java:
import java.io.*;
import Queue;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args)     {
     Queue high = new Queue(2);
     Queue highwait = new Queue();
     Queue medium = new Queue(5);
     Queue low = new Queue(8);
     Queue lowwait = new Queue();
     high.Print();
     highwait.Print();
     medium.Print();
     low.Print();
     lowwait.Print();
I sent the files to a friend, and he got the same error, so is it something to do with the actual file? Any help would be greatly appreciated, because if I can't get this working, I gotta do the project in C++, which i don't want to do :)This is on Linux, BTW. Thanks!

Ok lets go through this step by step.
First, somewhere in your path you have a directory called 'queue' and in it is a java file 'Queue.java'. On my computer, I have this directory in
'/home/joshua/development/java/test'. From the directory 'queue' the command
$javac Queue.java
should compile.
Does that compile?
In '/home/joshua/development/java/test' I also have the java file 'Main.java', which compiles, without error, with the command
javac Main.java
Does that compile?
Queue.java needs the statement
package queue;
And Main.java needs the statement
import queue.Queue;
I will post my modified code or help you adjust your Classpath if this does not work, because it is working fine on my comp.
