This is what the Linux installation does. I tried the Linux TAR
version first which has an installer that makes the symlink for
you. Incidentally, the Linux version gave exactly the same "abnormal
termination: (null)" error. You are running the FreeBSD native
version, aren't you? If it's the Linux one the fix that I found in
the -current mail archive:
1. move or rename /usr/compat.
2. Start compupic (it will start OK now).
3. Exit compupic
4. Move /usr/compat back into place.
5. Run compupic (it will continue to run OK now)
