sound juicer problem

[andy at neu.net]

I'm having a problem with sound-juicer on a new install on 6.2 and Gnome 
2.16.1.  When I try to start sound-juicer, I receive the following 
message:
# /usr/local/bin/sound-juicer

** (sound-juicer:41801): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: Failed to 
connect to socket /var/run/dbus/dbus.pipe: No such file or directory

** (sound-juicer:43954): WARNING **: hal_initialize failed: Failed to 
connect to socket /var/run/dbus/dbus.pipe: Socket operation on non-socket

uname -a:
FreeBSD opteron.foo.bar 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #1: Sat Jan 
6 11:44:44 IST 2007     root at opteron.foo.bar:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL 
i386

Any ideas what the problem is, and how to fix it?

TIA
