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

Hi Kevin,

understood.
I've uploaded a screenshot of how the broken graphics look like here:

and here:

I've also tried installing additional gd packages, which didn't bring any results - which is obvious, because as soon as ExternalAuth is disabled, graphing works.
So it clearly must be correlated with the ExternalAuth package.

Kind regards,
Marek

Plugins (and any local customizations) can always cause problems like this.

So, that doesn't mean Logos are broken, it just means you have GD installed without png, jpeg or gif support.  I'm not quite sure how you've managed that.  Perhaps look for additional gd- packages you should have installed.

So, since you keep referring to the GD Is disabled message, which is different from "is broken" can you be specific about what kind of "breakage" you see with charting?  I had thought you meant that the graph doesn't show up at all, or is a broken image link, but since you claim that RT-Authen-ExternalAuth 0.25 still breaks it, I find that hard to believe.

This may all be tied to your lack of gd library support referenced above.
