I do have libxslt 1.1.17 installed, and whereis reveals that xsltproc is
in fact installed, too.

However, here's an update to my problem.  I realized that FreeBSD has a
kernel module driver (a pair, actually, ucom and uvisor) which does
exactly what you described in an earlier email - it produces a ttyU*
device.  Once I got that module loaded, and sorted out permissions for
the ttyU* devices, I was able to get my pilot-xfer to work from a
terminal with pilot-xfer -p /dev/ttyU0 -l.  Hooray!

When I started up the gnome-pilot applet, things went OK at first.  It
connected to the visor and got the name and ID.  But there are two
issues.  When I try to sync with the "Test" conduit, I get an error
dialog with this message:  "Unkown PDA - no PDA matches ID -11493666756
Use gnomecc to configure gnome-pilot"

The other problem is perhaps off-topic for this list.  It is that I'd
ultimately like to sync with Evolution,and I can't find the evolution
conduits in gnome-pilot's list.  I've got gnome-pilot 2.0.15 and
gnome-pilot-conduits 2.0.15 installed, but the Evolution conduits don't
show up under gnome-pilots conduits tab.  Are the Evolution conduits in
gnome-pilot-conduits?  I'm still poking around trying to figure this
out.

So that's the situation now.  Sorry about my earlier confusion with
regard to the drivers I needed.
