well, i've had to:
- create /var/run/pg_statsinfo (hardcoded in source) owned by _postgres, it creates a pidfile there
- start the db with all the lines added to postgresql.conf
- \i /usr/local/share/postgresql/contrib/pg_statsinfo.sql

with that i had a statsinfo schema.

for pg_stats_reporter i had to copy
/var/www/htdocs/pg_stats_reporter/doc/files/pg_stats_reporter.ini.sample
to ~/.pg_stats_reporter.ini and set the database host, but even with
that i cant get much out of pg_stats_reporter command. As a php script,
it runs with 8.1 or 8.2 so for that part at least it 'works'.

i havent tried the 'online dashboard' variant, i feel dirty enough for
now :)
