What's your operating system? There are two separate pieces, client and
server. On the application side you don't need the server packages, so
normally there's no postgresql.conf file there at all, and no
pg_hba.conf either; both are server-side only configuration files. You
just need libpq, and whatever client libraries your apps use.
