Hey Carter,

Thanks but I finally figured out what happened.  It has nothing to do with 
FlowScan.  It has everything to do with the FreeBSD port of the Cflow Perl 
Module - which they call p5-Cflow.

It turns out this ports does look for Argus but it looks for it 
incorrectly.  So during its build process, it doesn't pull in the necessary 
Argus file (e.g. argus_common.a and lots of others).  I fixed my "local" 
copy and now it works  - again.

Unfortunately, the p5-Cflow port for FreeBSD is "unmaintained" and I'm 
going to have to find the time to come up with a patch and submit it back 
to the FreeBSD port folks.

Thanks for your time :)
