I *think* I've heard/read that the AMD64 version of FreeBSD doesn't
feature 'Linux compatibility'. Perhaps that's where your issues come
from. No idea why a binary distribution of a Linux version would have
worked, but perhaps that was just coincidence?!?
Either way, please don't come down too hard on me if I'm way off base
here; as the above is purely based on hearsay and my own speculation...
Cheers!
