syntax errors at "line 1" when executing every command

Hi list,

 

I'm using the latest postgreSQL with the lastest postgis.

When executing every command I want to use, I get the following error message:

 

postgis=# createdb;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "createdb"
LINE 1: createdb;
            ^

 

I can use psql to reach my database, but after that I'm finished.

Can't use any command. I thought this was a Vista (PATH) issue

so I turned to Windows XP, however, I encounter the exact

same issue. What am I doing wrong ??

 

 

Thx

Steven
