I'm interested in trying out the financial charts that ChartDirector
http://www.advsofteng.com/ can produce and I know they don't claim to support Mac, but the software can be run on FreeBSD so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Anyway...it gave me some sort of extension_dir error in my php configuration (don't have the exact error right now...i can check later). I quieted that after changing the default extension_dir to a place where their extension could be found. Now it just yields broken images when trying to load their examples graphs.
Hopefully I haven't reached a dead end. If someone out there with more PHP knowledge than me was interested in giving it the old college try/providing me with some clues that'd be excellent.
Note: I do have gd set up correctly. Another graphing software (jpgraph) works fine, but as I mentioned, the financial charts of this software looked particularly interesting.
Thanks!
