 Hello
 
 I recently installed the squidtimes package from ports at 5.4-R
 then I have such erreor message when launching it ...
 
 squidtimes: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.
 
 A bit strange as make and make install ran smoothly ...

It's a port, but it installs a prebuilt binary.  
[Which is the same one as when the port was added, back in '98.]

You will need a.out support in the kernel, which can be installed with
a module, and probably some compatibility libraries.

Good luck.

 Hi,
 I am a newbie FreeBSD installer. I installed 5.2.1 without any problems.
 But commands like gzip do not work, i.e. terminate with:
 /usr/bin/gzip: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.
 
 Also when I try to install new packages via CD, I always get error:
 ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1*** not found.
 (note that the 3 '*' stand for three weird characters.)
 I checked that /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 already exists...
 
 Any idea ?

Sounds like 5.2.1 did not, in fact, install without any problems :-)

Those errors are very weird and indicate something is quite wrong on
your system.  Try reinstalling it (if you install from CD then make
sure you verify the checksum first so you don't install from an image
that was corrupted during download).
