 I retried, and the above installation  problem was gone.
 
 Probably I started "make install" from "ports/opendx/work/.." and 
 not "ports/opendx", which because the port sets ARCH, might
 have that effect.
 
 Still, ARCH changing in meaning from "freebsd" (DX's ARCH) to 
 "i386" (FreeBSD's MACHINE_ARCH) throughout the package makes it 
 hard to understand.
 And probably it should be set to "i386-freebsd" to make the distributed 
 stuff work over networks with mixed operating systems. 
 (Or what was the reason to change from "_freebsd" to "_i386" / "_alpha"
 as machine specific directory suffices?)
 
 And, it still does not work from scratch. Start menu comes up.
 But running a sample seems not to work because it cannot connect
 to the server.
 Also the graphics in the tutorial are not displayed.
 Hmm..
 
 Regards,
 Marc
