exception running example.basic

I have built the postgress jdbc interfaces. When I try to run the example as
follows:

CLASSPATH=.:./postgresql.jar:$JDKTOP/lib/classes.zip

java -Djdbc.drivers=postgresql.Driver example.basic
jdbc:postgresql://localhost
/a_database a_userid a_password

I get the following error.

PostgreSQL basic test v6.3 rev 1

Connecting to Database URL = jdbc:postgresql://localhost/a_database
Unknown object of type:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
