hi, i don't have access to an alpha machine, but as you hinted there's some axp vs. alpha confusion in the Makefile. as openarena uses the ioquauke3 game engine, i looked through their information about alpha support. they only support a limited dedicated server on the alpha architecture. though i (blindly) created a patch you may want to try on the openarens package, maybe it helps to compile the engine. good luck - fuddl -- Among elephants it's not considered cool nor in any good taste to drain other elephants
