Ok, I got rid of the rpm install and started over.

I downloaded the latest hobbit binary and freetyp2, libart, libpng and
rrdtool binaries and started from scratch.

Everything is installed and I used the hobbit-apache.conf example created
by the install to configure apache.

Fired it all up, and hobbit seemed to be running fine...but when I click
on any link, I get a strange error that says Internet Explorer (or
Firefox) cannot download the file....instead of following the link to the
details page for that test. I get the same thing with reports, trends,
etc, etc. Only non-green seems to be working.

Im pretty sure that it has to be something to do with cgi-bin or seccgi,
so Im poring over my httpd.conf file line by line to see if something
somewhere is conflicting with the example setup from the hobbit install
(pasted into the bottom of my httpd.conf).

Has anyone seen this before?
Make sure _everything_ in the cgi-bin directory is executable.  I've found
on many platforms Apache will not execute any of the objects if even one
of them is non-executable.
chmod -R 755 /usr/libexec/hobbit/cgi-bin

May not be your problem, but that's fixed similar ones for me.
