Cassandra Cannot locate storage-conf.xml

I was trying to start Cassandra on FreeBSD with /usr/local/share/cassandra/bin/cassandra. But it gives me the following error messages, any idea how to get around the problem? Any suggestions will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Is this cassandra 0.6.x? You probably want to upgrade to the latest cassandra, 0.7.4

The error is because Cassandra can't locate storage-conf.xml. This file should be in your cassandra conf directory, see http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/StorageConfiguration

If you upgrade to cassandra 0.7.x, you will need a cassandra.yaml file instead.
