I think you need to provide more details about your setup. I took this opportunity to try out freebsd, installed version 9 in a virtual box and it works without problems. To compile I used CXXFLAGS="-Wno-long-long" ./configure --with-vorbis-prefix=/usr/local But darkice already exists in freebsd ports: http://www.freebsdports.info/ports/audio/darkice.html flip -- Rádio Zero www.radiozero.pt
