Re: apps segfaulting on FreeBSD 8.0

[David Chisnall]

Do you have /proc mounted?  I believe that the ports require this.  

I haven't tried the ports for a while, but I'm fairly sure I was using the svn 
revision that became the release on ports on FreeBSD.  You might try compiling 
from source - current svn definitely does work (or did three days ago, I've not 
updated since then) on FreeBSD 8.
