Eg: cd /usr/ports/emulators/osf1_base && make && make install The osf1 shared libraries and shared-lib loader (the /sbin/loader you refered to above) are distributed by Compaq as part of a Netscape rpm for alpha linux. I don't think we are allowed to ship them separately, so they are not included on your CDs. I'd suggest installing the rpm port prior to installing the osf1_base port. The osf1_base port depends on rpm2cpio, and if you don't have rpm installed, you'll get a painfully slow perl version of rpm2cpio..
