Hi johan,
when you say 'installing from source' - are you using the ports system ? 

as in /usr/ports 

If you are not, you are **STRONGLY** suggested you learn how to use it instead.
You can definitely build code from source by downloading some product tarball
and building it from scratch, but you need to know your way around the system.
That's what the ports are for - dead easy software management.

You can read about it here :
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports-using.html

you can also install from  precompiled binaries called 'packages', but you get
a standard build, rather than one you may want to configure to your needs:

start by reading the Handbook. You can find it in your system under

/usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/

or in freebsd.org ,

I am not a guru by far, but I am in the APAC area, in Sydney. :)
