Re: apps segfaulting on FreeBSD 8.0

[James Mahoney]

David (sorry for the double reply),

I do have /proc mounted now, from boot via /etc/fstab.  Terminal and Gorm still 
segfault as before.

Do you have /proc mounted?  I believe that the ports require this.  

I haven't tried the ports for a while, but I'm fairly sure I was using the svn 
revision that became the release on ports on FreeBSD.  You might try compiling 
from source - current svn definitely does work (or did three days ago, I've not 
updated since then) on FreeBSD 8.
