In psql some commands change prompt from =# to -# and do nothing

Question

In my django project, I use postgresql to manage the database. the pg version is 9.3

when I enter the psql terminal,some commands work,like \d, \l, `\h ,etc

When I type CREATE TABLE....., CREATE USER ...., etc they are all negative and do nothing but change the prompt to -# from =#.

I just wonder if I missed something when installation so I reinstalled it - no change.

help?
