PostgreSQL version: Unsupported/Unknown
Operating system:   window 7
Description:       

How about if in version 8.0, how do we use drop table if exists?? If you
dont provide this function then provide a script example dude, why pgsql so
unfriendly??

This is not a bug.

Please, try to use supported version of PostgreSQL. 8.0 is unsupported maybe ten years.

psql run in fault tolerant mode where errors are ignored. So you can just

drop table sometable;
create table sometable(...);

It should to works. The error messages you can ignore.
