I took everything from libgtop-1.0.13.  Unfortunately I oversaw at
least nlst.  I give it to you like this, cuz you might be already
hacking in sysdep.c.  So you better put it in cvs.

--- SNIP ---
/* Taken from: libgtop-1.0.13/sysdeps/freebsd/mem.c */

/* nlist structure for kernel access */
static struct nlist nlst [] = {
        { "_bufspace" },
        { "_cnt" },
        { 0 }
};
--- SNAP ---

And all the errors/warnings look like that we also need to include,

--- SNIP ---
/* Taken from: libgtop-1.0.13/sysdeps/freebsd/glibtop_machine.h */
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <nlist.h>
#include <kvm.h>
#include <sys/dkstat.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <sys/user.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <osreldate.h>
--- SNAP ---

if we haven't yet.

It is difficult to code blindly.  Why don't they use procfs like the
others.

I hope that helps you to get it run soon.

Uhhh.... on a fruit box. (-:
