The BSD port is currently available on FrestPorts. If you have FreeBSD, then installation is simple - just follow the instructions below. For all other BSD ports, please feel free to port my little app, and either send me your link

Getting searchMonkey on FreeBSD

Thanks to the hardwork done by freshports.org, getting searchmonkey on FreeBSD is simple!

$ cd /usr/ports/
# pkg_add -r searchMonkey
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/xsearch/
# make install clean

The installation is dependant on the Gtk and Glib libraries, but thanks to the excellent ports system, all of the dependancies are installed behind the scenes. To bring up the GUI, enter:

$ searchmonkey

To make execution simpler, why not make a desktop launcher?
