Here's a lovely message I got from `psql':
g9genarc(at)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).
Thanks,
