Installing on FreeBSD, error
-
@Fastidious did you follow the official docs? If so, a pull request to add that extra step is greatly appreciated. Just hit the edit button on the top right
EDIT: oops, I guess we don't even have a FreeBSD section in our docs. What OS did you use as your guide? Could add a new page copied and pasted from the original and adding your last step.

@psychobunny I simply installed node with
pkg(did not use ports), cloned NodeBB and did the regular routine (npm install, nodebb setup, etc.). It was crashing on setup because I hadgcc48. Installedgcc49, no dice. Finally installedgcc5and updatedlibmap.confunder/etc/as follows:libstdc++.so.6 gcc5/libstdc++.so.6And the beast took a deep breath, and opened its eyes. Hehe.

I can come up with a page. It should be fairly straight forward, but I already had many things installed on that VPS, so I am not sure if whatever requirements were needed I already had them.

You seem to know a lot more about this than any of our core team. Myself especially
If you could add a freebsd section to the docs then kudos to you, likely somebody else will run into the problem you had and I'd have no idea how to respond

Done. Pull request pending.

Thanks!
the PR is missing a link from the OS page to your new page though
