http://brainmurmurs.com/products/pulse/download.php Pulsed's installer is hopelessly linux-centric, and makes icky (and mostly invalid) assumptions about the layout of the system. The sources do compile and run on FreeBSD 6.x, though. Just ignore all their 'convenience' scripts. * Prerequisites (all available through ports or packages) ** Bison ** GNU Make ** Python * Fetch the sources and build them.
