Your webserver is being braindead and not putting stderr into a file
where it would be useful. Is it a Netscape webserver? You should
consider switching to Apache, which is what I test under. As for the
warning Cricket is generating, I can't comment on it, since in my copy
of Cricket 0.67, line 624 of the grapher is a comment:

       624 # step one, get a good ttRef to use.
       625 my($ttype) = lc($targs->{$item}->{'target-type'});
       626 if (!defined($ttName) || $ttype ne $ttName) {

Perhaps your target-type is not set correctly?
