I recently setup SARG to provide Proxy reporting. This has proven to be a beneficial reporting tool. The notes that follow are specific to a Debian installation. I would normally have used apt-get or .deb file, but there were problems with ver. 2.2.5 which is the only version available from Debian. I have since chosen to use the source for ver. 2.2.6
NOTES:
Ensure that Dansguardian (dansguardian.conf) is logging in squid format, otherwise you will not be able to use the dansguardian access.log
I am installing from source with the following:
1) For Debian installation, I found you must change the version of
gcc from 4.1 to 4.3 otherwise you will get an error when running the
./configure. I searched and found someone with the a similar error
trying to install on centos. There maybe a better answer, but this
was my solution.
For systems running vmware, this most likely needs to be changed back once SARG is installed.
2) ./configure --bindir=/usr/bin --enable-htmldir=/var/www/ --sysconfdir=/etc
3) Configure SARG. The configuration below was a good starting point. The configuration file has many other configuration options as well as good documentation of the various settings.

cd /usr/bin
rm gcc
ln -s gcc-4.3 gcc
