Hi,

Is the MINUIT you're referring to a FORTRAN program for doing function
minimization? If so, a few years back I got it to run on an amiga
under AmigaOS by using f2c to translate the source from FORTRAN to C
and compiled using GCC. As I recall, I had very few problems. I
haven't tried it under FreeBSD, but if it worked under AmigaOS, I
wouldn't expect much of a problem under unix. 

Regards,
Bill
