Building Reports using Rails Application Data

I'd like to build a series of reports using data generated by my application that is stored in the mySQL database. From the usenet groups, it looks as though the most popular solution for this sort of thing is Ruport (acts_as_reportable). Is this available at hostingrails? Another solution mentioned is a bridge to JasperReports. This looks fairly complicated, though.

Are there other options? The types of reports I'd like to create are graphs, csv output, and XML files for the spss system.

Sure, all you need to do is ssh to your rails vendor/plugins folder and
svn co http://stonecode.svnrepository.com/svn/ruport/acts_as_reportable/trunk acts_as_reportable
Gruff also has nice graphing capabilities.  csv and xml are pretty straight-forward in Rails (as I think you know).  

Cheers,
