I had similar problems, and ended up having to get the full postgres
source and building repmgr against it. repmgr seems to have a lot of
rough edges which aren't helped much by very limited support. FWIW,
repmgr isn't a GUI so if that's your requirement, its not going to
help.
pgpool can be used for managing a database cluster with streaming
replication, and does have a web admin interface.
