Likely it's not developed solely for FreeBSD, I guess.
It doesn't seem to be in the ports tree at first glance.
Check the Makefile and see who it's trying to set up
as program owner and user...sounds as if it wants to run
in a 'root' group, which doesn't exist in FBSD.  I imagine
some tweaking there or on the commandline should
make this error go away....

Only you could answer that, friend. :-)
