I have installed 1.5.4 on Ubuntu 12.04 and got it (mostly) working by performing the fixes specified elsewhere (newer postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar, vanilla tomcat-dbcp.jar).
However Reports in any format fail to generate.
Looking at cmdbuild.log I see:-
{{{
INFO 2012-05-22 17:48:47 [jsonrpc ] Calling url /management/modreport/createreportfactory
ERROR 2012-05-22 17:48:47 [jsonrpc ] A java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError occurred calling method class org.cmdbuild.servlets.json.management.ModReport.createReportFactory: Could not initialize class net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser
}}}
Whenever I click on one of the report type icons.
I have checked and "net.sf.jasperreports.engine.util.JRStyledTextParser" is in jasperreports-3.7.1.jar which in turn is in "/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/cmdbuild/WEB-INF/lib" do not sure why it cannot be found.
catalina.out has nothing, the last entry being hours earlier:-
