Hey All,

Having an issue after installing Glances from ports.

Hi @carpenike , can you send us your Glances and PsUtil version ?

glances -v will do the trick.

@asergi Is it working out of the box on your BSD ?

root@freebsd:~ # glances -V
Glances v2.5 with psutil v3.4.1

I have sent PR(giampaolo/psutil#731). psutil uses wrong data type for getting physical memory size by sysctlbyname. This bug was introduced at psutil 3.4.1. So you can avoid this issue downgrade to 3.3.0.

Thanks. Pulled down / installed the master branch for psutil and was able to launch Glances.

REJECTED cause: PsUtil issue.

Thks for the report and the work around !
