empty files on Red Hat EL 3

I have installed Chart 2.3 on a Red Hat El 3 machine. Perl 5.8.0.

# perl -MCPAN -e 'install Chart::Base'

etc.

The install apears to work fine. When I go into the install directory and do 'make test' that reports success. But all the test charts in 'samples/' are 0-byte files.

It's not file permissions, I have deleted them all and run make test again, they are generated at 0-bytes.

I do have png libraries.

No errors are generated, each script just silently writes an empty file. And the test harness thinks they all succeeded.

Has anyone seen this? Or has anyone got Chart to work on RH EL 3, Perl 5.8.0? Suggestions much appreciated.
