If anyone has installed the package for this on 18.04, and gotten it working,
I'd like to discuss what you had to do.

When I use apt-get to install it, I get a a couple of errors:

Warning: The home directory /var/log/pgcharts you specified can't be accessed: No
such file or directory

Not creating home directory `/var/log/pgcharts'

-es a /vr/log directory, and since apt-get is running as root, it should be
able to create that directory.

In any case, when I try to send my browser to the specified port on
localhost after doing an install there is nothing running on that port.

I would also be interested in any comments about how well this package
works. I am not opposed to building it from source, and working through the
install process, if that is needed, if it is useful.

There is nothig there that indicates Ubuntu is a problem platform.

Have you tried a git clone and used the provided Makefile yourself?
