I've worked with it some and it's a very good application. A co-worker
was looking for a system to manage contacts, leads, to-do lists, print
mailing labels for literature, etc, and SugarCRM has been very good so
far for managing it all. It's got a lot of features. I'd definitely give
it a try and see if it does what you need.

I did not install it via the port (just did it locally into a user's
home directory), but I believe the X libraries are there as a
requirement of GD for PHP. Sugar is indeed a web application.

I am looking into installing SugarCRM for a friend of

this package on FreeBSD, I wanted to know their
impressions on the installation and behaviour of the

Second of all I saw on the FreeBSD ports page that
SugarCRM requires the following:

I wanted to know what X libraries are for and whether
they are necessary. I had assumed that it's a
PHP/Apache/MySQL type of setup.

Thanks in advance.

Can't say anything about the X libraries, but I attempted to install 
SugarCRM a couple weeks ago.  I found out after running into a bunch of 
erros, and much digging around for answers, that the current FreeBSD 
port is incompatible with PHP5 & MySQL5.  The most current source that 
is available on the SugarCRM website is now compatible with MySQL5, but 
not yet compatible with PHP5.  I believe the current FreeBSD SugarCRM 
port has been updated to recognize this issue.  However I already had 
PHP5 & MySQL5 installed on the server, and didn't feel like rolling them 
back to previous versions, and ended up installing vtiger instead.


Best regards,
