Ah, ok.

This is very old code. It predates 1.5 and so it's not too suprising
that it doesn't build under 1.5. I suggest you build from source
available at jdbc.postgresql.org or use a prebuilt jar from the same
location. Don't pass --with-java to avoid trying to build the driver
provided with 7.4.3 (that flag only triggers the driver build -- it does
not change how the server or client utils are built).

I'd also suggest you use the latest 7.4.x server, not 7.4.3. There are
data-loss bugs that have been fixed since 7.4.3.
