exceptionclass `java.sql.SQLException' in `throws' clause. The exception must be a subclass of an exception thrown by
`org.postgresql.jdbc1.AbstractJdbc1Statement.createRefCursorResultSet(java.lang.String)'from class
`org.postgresql.jdbc1.AbstractJdbc1Statement'.

Most probably, your RHE3 box has an older version of the driver in its
CLASSPATH that is interfering with the build (the compiler is finding an
old version of some classes and using those rather than compiling the
current version from source).
