[lug] Anyone installed bugzilla?

[Judson Valeski]

I just checked with a friend of mine who is intimate with Bugzilla. He said:

"Bugzilla doesn't work with the very latest GD
module.  One of many bugs I have that I keep meaning to fix.

It will work fine without those two modules, he just won't be able to
get the pretty report graphs."

I'm a user of Bugzilla, but I've never tried to install it.

Hope this helps,
Jud
