It could still use some features and UI work.. but it did start right up. One other thing I noticed is that it seemed to consume excessive CPU cycles, and cause the X server to do the same (Linux version did too). I installed it something like follows (from memory): cd /usr/local tar xzvf /path/to/compupic-4.6.1017-i386-freebsd.tar.gz cd compupic gzip compupic.1 && mv compupic.1.gz /usr/local/man/man1 cd ../bin ln -s /usr/local/compupic/compupic cd rehash compupic & (i mighta missed something there, like i said this is from memory) It's worth noting that I previously had the Linux version on this machine so something may very well be different on my box compared to a pristine one. Machine is SMP -current of a recent vintage. FWIW I do seem to recall once I couldn't make the Linux version of CPIC open because I didn't have enough physical RAM free, though looking at the machine description in the message above I doubt that's the problem. Well I'm gonna go toy with it s'more and see if I can take a guess at what's going on.
