The original install I did included openjade. (openjade-1.3-13)

Those are just tar.gz's from cpan.

Hmmm... I don't seem to have libgd installed.  GD seems to link to libttf2:

[root at vpn /root]# rpm -qR libgd
package libgd is not installed
[root at vpn /root]# rpm -qR gd
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
ld-linux.so.2
libc.so.6
libjpeg.so.62
libm.so.6
libpng.so.2
libttf.so.2
libz.so.1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

Hmmmm....  Well, after some mucking around and upgrading the gd RPM to
gd-1.8.4-4.i386.rpm, that command reports:

[root at vpn GD-1.37]# rpm -qR gd
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
/sbin/ldconfig
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
ld-linux.so.2
libc.so.6
libfreetype.so.6
libjpeg.so.62
libm.so.6
libpng.so.2
libz.so.1
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3)
libm.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)

rebuilt the GD.pm, which built cleanly with ttf support this time (it hadn't
before) and it's still mucked up.  Dammit, I thought I might have had it
there.  GD doesn't want to build on my system, at least not with freetype
support.  That's the problem with RPM's.  It's kinda like crack.  Once you
start using it, you just can't stop, even if you really want to...

Thanks for LogReport.  It's very cool.  All I need now is modules for
firewall/iptables logs, and www(?)/squid, and I'll be quite happy.  :)
