I also built gnucash-2.6.10 on Slackware-14.1 (32 bit in my case) and the
reports and graphs work correctly.

I noticed a comment in the GnuCash code that might be relevant. The comment
says that GnuCash exports the report to a file, then loads that file for
viewing with webkit, to 'get around some security problems' on Linux
(loading local resource errors).  This sounds like what you are seeing.
But the fix code is conditional on webkit support.

Two questions then: 1) When you make reports in GnuCash, are temporary
files with names like gnc-report-*.html appearing in your /tmp directory?
They should be. 2) What version of webkit did you use? (I'm using
webkitgtk-2.4.9)
