 * install freeswitch from a compiled download. Note that even though pfsense is built on freebsd, there is so much removed from the OS on pfsense in order to make it lean and secure that you don't have enough there to do a compile locally.  If you want to compile your own freeswitch you need to do it on a matching version of freebsd and copy it across to pfsense when it is complete.
