Thx for the tip.
I usually go to
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html
and search for the ports I'm looking for, but as said, I didn't even dreamed
of this program was allready ported. Thought it was brand a new lin-version.
I've used it before in windows-version.
It's now installed and working as expected, from ports.
But, again thanks for your help and kindness.
