I'm very new to FreeBSD but I download the "port" for inn, download 
inn1.4sec.tar.Z, stuck it in my /usr/ports/distfiles directory, cd'ed to 
"/usr/ports" and typed "make", then cd'ed to /usr/ports/work and typed 
"make install"..  everything compiled fine and installed just as well.  If 
you havnt figured out "Ports" yet please do, its a BIG time saver! look at 
"ftp.freebsd.org://FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports" for these ports..  and 
check out the ports-FAQ in the docs directory at the same site.
