Most of us are not ative English speakers.  I understand your message, no
problem :)

You mean lire-20011017.tar.gz ?  Our latest stable version is
lire-20011205.1.tar.gz , available from http://logreport.org/pub/ , you
might want to try that one.

this will not give an html file on stdout, but a tar file.  Therefore
you'd better redirect stdout to e.g.  > tmp/report.tar, or pipe it
through tar -xf (see below.)

That's not needed, this setting is only there to make debugging easier.

I just did, on a Debian GNU/Linux system:

 joostvb at gelfand:/tmp/logreport% wget http://logreport.org/pub/archive/lire-20011017.tar.gz
 joostvb at gelfand:/tmp/logreport% tar zxf lire-20011017.tar.gz && \
  cd lire-20011017 && ./configure --prefix=/tmp/logreport && make && \
  make install
 joostvb at gelfand:~% PATH=/tmp/logreport/bin:$PATH
 joostvb at gelfand:/tmp/logreport% lr_run lr_log2report -o html -i \
  /tmp/error www apache combined < /var/log/apache/doc.mdcc.cx/combined.log | \
  tar -xf -
 joostvb at gelfand:/tmp/logreport% galeon report/index.html &

(In the README file, you're advised to run

 $ zcat /var/log/apache/combined.log.gz | \
  lr_run lr_log2report -o html -i /tmp/error www apache combined | \
  tar -xf -
 which will generate a report in html format is a subdirectory ./report/. )

This showed an html report with graphics in my webbrowser (I use galeon;
mozilla or netscape work equally well of course.)

> Where is my mistake ????

I think you should just point your browser to the index.html file.
Generating the actual png's seems to be ok on your machine.  I don't
think there is any problem.

I hope my explanation helps you.

Bye,
