Did you install lire-1.2.1.tar.gz or lire-1.2.1-2.noarch.rpm?

Did you read the output?  It says:

 all all lr_tag-20021227151154-1897 lr_log2report warning obsolete (since
  Lire 1.1) superservice argument detected
 all all lr_tag-20021227151154-1897 lr_log2report warning this argument
  is ignored
 all all lr_tag-20021227151154-1897 lr_log2report warning please change
  your scripts and call this program as Usage lr_log2report [-c
  <report_cfg>] [-i] [-o <outputformat>] service

Please do not run

 lr_run lr_log2report -i -o pdf proxy squid < access.log.1 >
   repsqid2.pdf 2> errorsquid.txt

but run

 lr_run lr_log2report -i -o pdf squid_access < access.log.1 >
  repsqid2.pdf 2> errorsquid.txt

Furthermore, it says:

 all squid_access lr_tag-20021227151154-1897 squid_access2dlf warning
  Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected continuation byte 0xa0, with no
  preceding start byte) in pattern match (m//) at
  /usr/libexec/lire/convertors/squid_access2dlf line 31, <> line 33909.
<snip>
 all squid_access lr_tag-20021227151154-1897 squid_access2dlf warning
  Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected non-continuation byte 0x25,
  immediately after start byte 0xe8) in pattern match (m//) at
  /usr/libexec/lire/convertors/squid_access2dlf line 31, <> line 277304.

Please inspect line 33909 of your file access.log.1.  That's what
squid_access2dlf chokes on.

What does your file repsqid2.pdf look like?

Best Wishes to you too!
