I'd gladly help.

I'm running it on 10.3/i386 and it's working.

I'm recompiling it (due to a possible move from ports to poudriere) and 
I've also installed it on a 10.3/amd64 box, where it used to work.
I'll test in both cases.
However I don't have a 11.0 around.

Did you only try 11.0 or 10.3 too?

  bye & Thanks
