Default Pixel Image Editor

I've purchased Pixel image editor, which I've used in the past. Gimp doesn't cut it for my photography needs, and I've been using Photoshop CS4 on my Mac. Anyway, I try to run the Pixel binary for FreeBSD, and I always get this error. I've tried linking 1.2 to the proper library and then I get a segmentation fault. Any and all help would be appreciated? I couldn't find the older lib.

Code:
ninjasb ~/Downloads [4102] cd Pixel                                                      
ninjasb ~/Downloads/Pixel [4103] ls                                                      
Brushes         Plugins         Template        pixel           pixel32.svg
Gradient        Skins           bsd.ini         pixel.hlp       splash.dat
Locale          Styles          config.def      pixel32.bmp     unicx86.dat
Patterns        System          license.txt     pixel32.png
ninjasb ~/Downloads/Pixel [4104] ./pixel                                                 
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libSDL-1.1.so.7" not found, required by "pixel"
ninjasb ~/Downloads/Pixel [4105]

Obviously you are missing a library. Quick Google turned this

Quick Google gave me this

I don't know of a search utility, but I do know where libSDL-1.1.so.7 went.
In version 1.2.9xxx of /usr/ports/devel/sdl12 one of the installed files was
/usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.1.so.7 . However, as of versions 1.2.11xxx
this guy is replaced by /usr/local/lib/libSDL.so.11 .

Since you have a precompiled binary of whatever, you might try 2 things.
1. cd /usr/local/lib/
ln -s libSDL.so.11 libSDL-1.1.so.7

If you are lucky, the program will run anyway.

2. If you are not lucky, investigate /usr/ports/sysutils/portdowngrade.

It will help in downgrading to a version of sdl12 with the lib you need
without too much pain. (any of the 1.2.9 versions, I'm pretty sure).

Now, I have a question for you. If you paid for the software aren't you
entitled to support?

Your application wants libSDL-1.1, the version in ports is libSDL-1.2.
Looking at the website I see the FreeBSD build is from 2006, so it uses an old version of the SDL library.

Get an old SDL package from the FreeBSD ftp site and extract this to the application directory.

btw.
I seriously do not understand why these binary application are dynamically linked and do not ship with all required libraries ... :-/
