It sounds like your version of postgres was built without readline
support. I see this output on my FreeBSD box:
% psql -V
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.6
contains support for command-line editing
Unless your output contains that, you'll probably have to rebuild
PostgreSQL.
If you don't want to rebuild PostgreSQL, you might want to look at
something like rlwrap[1] which will do the same sort of thing.
