Notes on Unzip: FreeBSD's unzip is located in /usr/bin some applications exspect it located here /usr/local/bin. To fix this apply the following.

cd /usr/bin
mv unzip unzip.old
ln -s /usr/local/bin/unzip unzip

Notes on FreeType2: If you plan to run Imagemagick it will look “freetype” instead of “freetype2” in order to fix this apply the following.

ln -s /usr/local/include/freetype2 /usr/local/include/freetype

Preventing console spam: Some applications especially qmail tends to spam your console, which can be quite annoying when you work. This can be solved by redirecting these messages to a file rather than tty. This can be done in /etc/syslog.conf

vi /etc/syslog.conf

Change and or add the following line.

*.emerg                                            *

With

*.emerg                                         /var/log/messages
