You need to make sure that the postgres jar file is in your classpath so 
that it can be found.  For example:

CLASSPATH=.:/var/tomcat4/common/lib/log4j.jar:/usr/share/pgsql/jdbc7.1-1.2.jar

You need to find your postgres jdbc jar file for your release.  My 
server is running an old one, so your location may vary.

The compile time stuff is included with the java.sql.* stuff (that's why 
your compile is working) and is bound with the jdbc driver at run time 
when you load the driver (which isn't working).

Hopefully this is the problem.
