the basic unit of lazreport is lr_class:

unit LR_Class;

interface

{$I LR_Vers.inc}

uses
   SysUtils, Classes, MaskUtils, Controls, FileUtil, Forms, ComCtrls, Dialogs,
   Menus, Variants, DB, Graphics, Printers, osPrinters, DOM, XMLRead, XMLConf, LCLType,
   LCLIntf, TypInfo, LCLProc,{$IFDEF UNIX}SysUtilsAdds,{$ENDIF} LR_View, LR_Pars,
   LR_Intrp, LR_DSet, LR_DBSet, LR_DBRel, LR_Const;

As you can see, this includes a lot of the LCL units, and they depend on X through the widgetset.

Yes, I know about the no_gui widgetset, but if you use that, you'll get a bunch of errors because 
of missing functionality (pagewidth/height missing or zero, no font info etc.).

Lazreport inherited from fastreport a totally misplaced dependency on the GUI, unfortunately :/

For desktop apps, this is perfectly OK. But not for web apps.
