It seems to have some runtime issues that I am not sure how to fix.  Below is the output from lr_run lr_log2report; my questions are:

The problem isn't that it can't find www-user_agent.xml.  In fact, it is
not an error at all. The message 

> www all lr_tag-20011115162808-3481 lr_dlf2xml notice can't compute

appears because the www-user_agent schema (and all the reports based on 
that schema) needs the useragent field to compute its information. This
information isn't present in the Common Log Format. Only Combined Log
Format have this information. (Combined Log Format is CLF + the content
of the User-Agent and Referer headers).

You can basically install them anywhere. Pass the location of their
top-level directory to configure via the DBK_DSSSL_STYLESHEETS
environmental variable :

DBK_XML_DTD=/my/path/to/docbook.dtd \
DBK_DSSSL_STYLESHEETS=/path/to/directory/where/stylesheets/were/unpacked \
./configure [other options]

The FAQ (doc/faq.{html,pdf,txt}) has other informations about making
HTML reports works on SunOS.

Btw, our next release won't need the DSSSL stylesheets and openjade to
generate HTML output. (Only libxslt and the XSL DocBook stylesheets will
be needed. It will be a lot faster also.)  There is a CVS snapshots of
that upcoming release available at 

http://www.logreport.org/pub/cvs-snapshots/lire-full-20011117-unstable.tar.gz

The final version should be released around the beginning of December.

It depends on your hardware, but it is very well possible. Turning off
reports you don't want will reduce processing time. 

We are interested by any feedback you can give us.

Thanks for your interest in LogReport, kind Regards,
