Here's a lovely message I got from `psql': g9genarc@eddie:~$ psql -h /var/pgsql --help psql was compiled without support for long options. Use --help for help on invocation options.
I guess that it was confused by having both options at once, since "psql --help" works fine (i.e. the long options *do* work).
