I guess the error message comes from your JVM, not Soot. I suspect your CLASSPATH definition does not reach the JVM when you run it, or the specified path to sootclasses-2.3.0.jar is wrong.

1) Check the CLASSPATH is set correctly by running the "env" command in your shell.
2) Double check the paths you set in CLASSPATH are valid.
3) Try to specify the classpath using a command line argument of your JVM (usually with "-cp").
4) Check the soot jar do contains soot.Main: "jar -tf sootclasses-2.3.0.jar | grep Main" should print "soot/Main.class".
