Hi Olivier,

Yes, I meant the graphiques / graphs on the administration site.

rrdtools has been in since the beginning ; care to specify which Perl
module you're referring to ? Usually, I've been depending on complaints
- on the command line or in the logs - to find missing Perl modules,
but this may be on a different basis. So far, there hasn't been
anything about a Perl module relevant to graphs. Any info would be
most appreciated.

jpgraph & jpgraph_docs have also been taken from your repository (to
be certain) and aliened and in from the beginning. So far, there has
been not a trace of the graphs.

I've been searching and have discovered that there *may* be a Debian
issue involved. Apparently the GD project forked some time ago and all
the 'new' functions (on which, for example, jpgraph, depends) are in
the 'new' branch of the projects, which Debian has rejected for
reasons of security. I can't assess that, of course, but the Debian
version of php5-gd as a result contains the 'old' branch of the GD
project. There are many references claiming that the 'dotdeb.org'
version of the package contains the correct (for us) 'new' version of
GD. We have installed it from their repo but as yet there are no
graphs in evidence ...

I have no idea which version the CentOS distro uses, but it's probably
the correct one for PacketFence !

In the event, many thanks for your input, as usual, and any further
suggestions for search or focus on this issue would of course be
appreciated.

Best wishes,

Chris
