The real answer would be from the FreeBSD package maintainer. My point with finding out the binaries is I was trying to "teach you to fish". This is very typical to have different names for binaries, especially if there are diff versions installed simultaneously. If develop good first princicples this stuff won't phaze you, and you won't care what the names are.

Presumably they did this so you can install CHICKEN 4 and 5 alongside. This is also commonly done by package maintainers for Python 2 and 3, Perl 4 and 5, and Ruby as well I think. Given that this is Ports, maybe there's an option you can set during build to not do that? Cheers, Peter signature.asc Description: PGP signature

freeBSD chicken port
Hi all .. Just installed freeBSD on an old AMD Athlon box. My first *nix love works like a hot damn. :) Installed freeBSD pkg Chicken5-5.2.0 - no problems. However, getting it run afterwards took me 1/2 hour. I tried: chicken; man 1 chicken; csi; man 1 csi; csc etc etc NO JOY! Until out of frustration, I tried chicken5; csi5; man 1 csi5 etc JOY!! I was lucky to trip over that solution! Can that be fixed for the next poor slob that tries to run Chicken on freeBSD? I take it that there is a new freeBSD Chicken port maintainer? Thanks! -- Duke
