From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020823
Netscape/7.0

Description of problem:
Data files are create, but it does not create any graphs.

The error messages are:

gd-png:  fatal libpng error: Invalid filter type specified
gd-png error: setjmp returns error condition

These messages are repeated several times.

The /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg worked fine for RH Linux 7.3

The /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg file:

# Multi Router Traffic Grapher -- Example Configuration File
######################################################################
# This file is for use with mrtg-2.0
#
# Note:
#
# * Keywords must start at the begin of a line.
#
# * Lines which follow a keyword line which do start
#   with a blank are appended to the keyword line
#
# * Empty Lines are ignored
#
# * Lines starting with a # sign are comments.

# Where should the logfiles, and webpages be created?

# Minimal mrtg.cfg

I can't reproduce this with mrtg-2.10.5, please reopen
if the error still occurs with a recent mrtg package.
