Is this file in it's place? Problem with access, did you try it run with sudo? (or as a root)

Your output should be:

$ bootchart-render
Parsing /var/log/bootchart.tgz
Wrote image: ./bootchart.png

Anyhow, I was able to reproduce the problem by doing:

$ sudo chmod -r /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar
$ bootchart-render
Unable to access jarfile /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar

So it looks like your permissions are not set correctly. So I believe all you need to do is:

$ sudo chmod +r /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar

Which will solve it.

Well, if you guys don't have /usr/share/bootchart/bootchart.jar, I just uploaded mine at http://www.freewebs.com/aprzepioski/bootchart.jar. I don't know if it would work with my copy, but I don't think it would hurt to try. I think bootchart.jar is just for unpacking /var/log/bootchart.tgz.

a simpler way is to get the PKGBUILD from abs, install jdk and then makepkg -s.

The package which will be created has the missing file. just pacman -U it.
