I recently installed the birt viewer (3.5) for Linux from binary (on Fedora Core 10 distro). When I visit: <a class='bbc_url' href='
http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/'>http://localhost:8080/birt-viewer/</a> it gives a a nice intro screen saying that Birt viewer has been installed.<br />
<br />
When I click on the "View Example" link, however, I'm greeted with the following error message:<br />
<br />
org.eclipse.birt.report.service.api.ReportServiceException: Error happened while running the report<br />

I'm surprised by the error and not sure if the missing "Tidy" class is a problem with my system or a problem with the Birt Viewer distribution file for Linux. Any idea?
