I figured out why I could not find the jdbc6.5-1.1.jar file.

The pertinent parts of my invocation script was:

> #! /bin/bash
...
> CLASSPATH=.:$JDKTOP/lib:../jar/jdbc6.5-1.1.jar
...
> java . . .

If java had been a binary executable, the above would have worked. However,
I subsequently discovered that the java "program" is really a link to
.java_wrapper in jdk1.1.5. .java_wrapper is a script that invokes the real
java program.

The CLASSPATH assignment should have been:

> export CLASSPATH=.:$JDKTOP/lib:../jar/jdbc6.5-1.1.jar

My invocation script now finds the jdbc6.5-1.1.jar file.

This might be useful in a FAQ somewhere.
