Am I missing something simple here?

I am trying to run a class.  I have the class in the classpath and every
time I try to run the class, I get a class not found exception thrown.  This
is aggravating!  Any ideas??

Here is the contents of the directory:
-----------
                            Work with Object Links

Directory  . . . . :   /home/MSILVERS

Type options, press Enter.
  2=Edit   3=Copy   4=Remove   5=Display   7=Rename   8=Display attributes
  11=Change current directory ...

Opt   Object link            Type             Attribute    Text
      .                      DIR
      ..                     DIR
      .profile               STMF
      .random                STMF
      testMe1.class          STMF
      testMe1.java           STMF
      testMe2.java           STMF
-----------

Here is the classpath variable:

-----------
> echo $CLASSPATH
  /.:/home/MSILVERS
  $
-----------

Here is the current directory:

----------
> pwd
  /home/MSILVERS
  $
----------

And here is the java command with the error:

----------
> java /home/msilvers/testMe1
  java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
