Well, I think it is important to have a standard setup when asking for help
on the maillist.
J will do   a reinstall this weekend, and then use pkg install for all my
installations.

For this cenon package, I don't mind giving it a try. Is it ok if I install
10.4?
And then I do pkg install xenon?

I'm currently on 11.1, and indeed, the package is installed, but the
program is not working (on my non-standard installation):
