Here is how to install a package in FGS :

(I suppose the module has been download in /tmp/fgs-gmap-demo-1.0.0-
linux-i386.tar.gz)

$ fgs install gmap-demo /tmp

and the gmap installer will get executed and all requirements will be
done.

no, but since the gmap's installer hasn't been executed, it may be
possible that some configuration issues exist about the
$FGS_HOME/tmp/ms_tmp location.

You could try to add a symlink in /tmp for ms_tmp by running :

$ ln -s $FGS_HOME/tmp/ms_tmp /tmp/ms_tmp

(but I strongly recommend to re-install the gmap-demo with the fgs
install command (see above))
