Here's one that looks pretty good;
http://rlib.sicompos.com/
RLIB - Reporting Engine
XML Based Definition Language
Generate Reports in PDF, HTML, TXT, and CSV
Fast and efficient, written in c
Commercial license available for non GPL code
Full expression engine.. ie: col1*col2+col3
Powered by cute and fuzzy penguins
Not having used crystal reports, I wouldn't know
whether it is at all comparable.
