Your problems are probably not related to the FreeBSD system.

If you read the McStas News, shortly after the version 1.4.2 was
released, an announce was issued as:

You can get it from <http://neutron.risoe.dk/news/2001.html>, but the
Arm.comp from version 1.5 will also do.
Just copy it to the 1.4.2 lib/optics.
To be sure, it is also attached with this mail.

To answer the other question, Emmanuel Farhi and I are currently
working on a new, common Risoe/ILL mcstas version, which will probably
be out in aproximately two months.


Hope this helps,

Peter Willendrup
