Yes that is the key here. Thanks for the hint. Now I
am typing under Firefox3/Gnome/FreeBSD. ;-)

Yeah I think openocd-devel port is the way to go. I do not really
like the port system very much due to the fact that many
mirrors are dead. The binaries are also not often updated.
Many ports are actually quite outdated.

For that ARCH Linux seems to be much better since it
provides updated binaries and at the same time provides
the source packages.
