Hi again,
in the meantime I've finished the installation on my Debian system
successfully.
However, I had an issue with the suggested backtest example again.
This time the --timeframe option didn't help, as I got an error message
about a missing ' ' directory. Adding a "--output-directory= /home/..."
instead the --timeframe option solved this problem this time.
I used the same GT version on both machines, so to me this seems to be a
(serious ?)  memory allocation problem or something similar.

Probably the changes in the wiki should be removed again ....

Hope this info may help to find the origin of the testing problems.
