Most RedHat-based stuff until recently came with libgd 1.8.4, which works with
Perl GD 1.41.  I've never had any issues with too new a version of Chart, only
if Chart was too old for the GD I had.

Checking for              GD (v1.20)   ok: found v1.38
Checking for     Chart::Base (v1.0)    ok: found v2.2
Checking for       GD::Graph (any)     ok: found v1.33
Checking for GD::Text::Align (any)     ok: found v1

All are stock Debian Woody except for Chart::Base, which I installed manually.

Old charts never worked for me, but that's mainly because I don't understand how
they work. New charts work fine, as do graphical reports.

And I don't have a libgd-config -- I suspect it may just not be there in 1.8,
but my Ubuntu installation doesn't let me decide if that is true or not!

libgd-config is shipped in debian only in the -dev packages (which is quite
anoying, because those -dev packages do depend on a lot of useless other
development packages).

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=gdlib-config&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=testing&arch=i386

os supplied, had to use -dev package for gdlib-config

- Whether old charts, new charts and graphical reports work
testserver.pl reports:
TEST-OK GD version 2.23, libgd version 2.0.33; Major versions match.
TEST-WARNING GD library generated a PNG that didn't match the expected image.
It has been saved as ./data/testgd-local.png and should be compared with
t/testgd.png
TEST-WARNING Chart library generated a PNG that didn't match the expected
image.
It has been saved as ./data/testchart-local.png and should be compared with
t/testchart.png

testgd.png and testgd-local.png are visually equal, looking fine.
testchart-local.png looks broken (grey in grey, dataset1 is white aka
invisible) (attached)

This bug is old; this problem doesn't seem to occur in the newsgroups any more.
