You probably also installed jade or openjade which are needed for PDF
output ?

Interesting, I didn't find any RPMs for the required perl GD modules.
Where did you find those? Are they part of RedHat 7.1 or did you find
them on  rpmfind.net?

Thanks for reporting this, I'll add this our FAQ (which we should put up
on our website).

This is probably due to an incompatibility in the compilation settings
of GD, GDTextUtil and libgd. Try to install GD.pm and GDTextUtil.pm from 
source to see if this fix your problem?  If the GD, GDTextUtil and GDGraph 
RPMs weren't compiled under RedHat 7.1, it is probably the cause of the problem.
There are various compilation settings for libgd which affect the way
fonts are used. For one thing, GDTextUtil requires that libgd was
compiled with True Type font support, to see if this is the case under
RH 7.1, you can run rpm -qR libgd to see if it is linked with libttf2.

Thanks for your interest in LogReport, kind Regards,
