I am very much used to exuberant ctags and projectile in my Emacs operating environment. Since FreeBSD already has ctags executable, I did the following to customize my Emacs,

  1. Install exuberant ctags pkg install ctags
  2. In Emacs, customize variable by M-x customize-variable
  3. Enter projectile-tags-command
  4. Change from ctags -Re -f "%s" %s to /usr/local/bin/exctags -Re -f "%s" %s"
  5. Set/save customization
