I try to avoid it as much as possible because it always ends with frustration. But it ends up happening again and again.
My advice: If you charge, then you'll have to do whatever he wants, even if it goes against everything you stand for. (or you'll roughen your friendship)
If you do pro-bono, you have the favor leverage, that gives you a little more control.Either way, be prepared for serious headaches.
(occasionally there's the friends who let you do whatever you want and trust your judgement completely, but that doesn't last long, and they'll have more and more suggestions of their own over time..)
Clients suck. Friend or no friend.
