Same as any other *nix operating system. Basically just follow the installation instructions with the program. Common basic ones are...
untar it tar -zxf file.tar.gz cd into the extracted dir cd file/ run the configure script if there is one. ./configure and compile it with make or if necessary gmake make But, if a program is in the ports tree you are better off using that unless you have specific reason not to. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anirban Adhikary" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org> Sent: Tuesday, November 22, 2005 3:37 AM Subject: doubts on FreeBSD Hi guys, This is ANIRBAN.
