First, whenever I installed it form ftp.freebsd.org, it would never see that perl5.00402 (I think?) was required and so it never installed it. I finally was able to get it from one of the main servers and it installed perl as well. However, the installation program apparently did not catch the location of wish4.2 (also required) so it would never run. I unzipped and untar'ed the file and looked at the master copy and saw it needed wish4.2 in the opening line, so I put that in. It seems to be working so far.
