You're right: I have no problem to run the examples and the classical
functions are OK, simple operations on matrix are OK, but inv() hangs.
I'll report this to the author.

It's working on my machine, but the same problem has been reported in PR
ports/109469 <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=109469>.
Could you please send me output of truss when you just launch FreeMat
and call helpwin?
Could you please also try again from the package (`pkg_add -r' should be
OK).

I'd like to fix it!
