Never mind, no problem !

Not really. A tarball is usually intended to deliver the files that
belong to a release from a project to package maintainers so they can
build zero-hassle packages for users :-)   However, we try to make
it easy to use even from the tarball. "Out of the box" isn't possible
however - that isn't even possible (in a desirable way) for a proper
Debian package.

Based on your suggestion the new tarballs now include a 
gm-install_client_locally.sh which takes either a tarball or a version
as argument and install that for the user running the script.

Nevertheless, the PostgreSQL configuration must still be adjusted.
There simply is no way around that.

How would you like it to be better ?

It is linked from the wiki but apparently not particularly prominent.

Well, if that's your wish the net-installer doesn't help :-)

> Thanks everybody ... sorry for the mess, next time I hope I can be clearer
Again, no problem, it led to improvement.
