Another problem might be that you have no access permissions, that the database wasn't yet initialized or that there is just no database at all. But those, I believe, would cause different messages. The only way I know of not using psql is writing some program using the libraries (e.g., libpsql) or using some application based on postgres, but then, I wouldn't expect any difference. Sorry.
