[Rtir] no charts available in request tracker installed from source

[marek.kreul at lhsystems.com]

Hi Kevin,

thanks for your reply. 
The link to the graphic is http://my-rt-host/rt/Search/Chart?Cache=6258d99d5617b18c47df56914efcdfa3&ChartFunction=COUNT&ChartStyle=bar&Class=RT%3A%3ATickets&Format=&GroupBy=Queue&Height=&Query=Owner%20%3D%20%27Nobody%27%20AND%20Status%20%3D%20%27new%27&Rows=10&SavedSearchId=RT%3A%3ASystem-1-SavedSearch-11&SearchType=Chart&ShowNavigation=0&Width=&hideable=1

The search produces results as expected, only the chart won't display.
Another bug is that when I try to change the graphic in the top right corner using the theme customization, I end up with no graphic there at all. 
I've already re-run the RT installation, now running "make upgrade" as the last step, without any result.

Shouldn't there be any kind of error message somewhere when RT fails to run the chart generator code?

Right click on the broken image and see what is served.
You may need to use your browser's dev tools to get the actual content/headers of the request.  Alternately, get the URL for the image and use curl to make a request for it (borrowing your session cookie).
