It's a "Linuxism". :-) Because it's a Linux program, you have
to make sure that linprocfs is loaded. Usually it's mounted
in /usr/compat/linux/proc, but the install script seems to
expect cpuinfo in /proc (which is FreeBSD's proc), so it
cannot be found.
You can, however, mount the Linux procfs in /proc, everything
should be working then. To get this state automatically after
startup, add
linproc /proc linprocfs rw 0 0
to your /etc/fstab.
The call "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will work. Example:
% cat /usr/compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
