Hi, I am a library student and FreeBSD newbie trying to install Flamenco <http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/index.html>, an open source faceted interface developed at Berkeley and currently hosted on Sourceforge. It says in their documentation, "Please note that we have only tested the code on the Linux OS (Red Hat 2.4.21)," and I've run into a few Linux-specific commands I've had to alter, such as replacing cp -a with cp -pRP. It seems I've been able to get Flamenco most of the way installed. Where I'm running into difficulty is in importing data. The only requirements stated in the documentation are: * Python version 2.3 or higher * A web server such as Apache that runs CGI scripts * Access to an ODBC-compliant DBMS such as MySQL I'd be very grateful for any assistance you can offer in porting this application. Check out the Flamenco demos <http://flamenco.berkeley.edu/demos.html>; -- I think you'll agree that it's worth having this software work on FreeBSD. Thanks, Brett
