Solved Problem using stow on 12.0 p10

I have a default home directory setup with some dotfiles in them for this test i have moved all of my vim dotfiles to a temporary folder for safe keeping. I have created a dotfiles directory call it dotfilesdir and inside that I created a vim directory. inside the vim directory I have some a copy of the vim dotfiles that were in my home directory. I go back into the dotfilesdir directory and run stow vim. But I get an error that says Cannot find an appropriate clone() and fails. Has anyone experienced this issue. I just ran stow on arch in a test directory and it worked perfectly with zero thought or configuration. I'm just wondering If I have to take an extra step on FreeBSD or set an environment variable or something, but when reading the man pages it doesn't seem likely that I have to. Thanks so much for any help given.
 
I switched to the xstow package and that works perfectly. Also you cannot stow if the file already exists in the directory that you want to stow to.
