Troubles with the port of GNU cfengine - 1.4.12

["Dmitry G. Golub" <dgolub_(_at_)_gdg_(_dot_)_gucb_(_dot_)_perm_(_dot_)_su>]

Dear list subscribers,

I have a problem with a port of GNU 'cfengine' at  my home OpenBSD box:

  - First of all, the cfengine version mentioned in 'files/md5' file
    in my directory '/usr/src/ports/sysutils/cfengine' is 1.4.12 but
    the current GNU version is 1.4.17

  - The port builds successfully and installed without troubles, but
    after '/usr/local/sbin/cfengine' run I see the message:

    'lopa::Cfengine: I don't understand what architecture this is!'

    (my home's machine hostname is 'lopa').

When invoked with '-v' (verbose) option the output is slightly
more interesting:

The only way to use cfengine on my box I found so far is to add an
option '-H' and the program will not set the internal variables from
environment.  But it is not a suggested mode of operation!

BTW, in Solaris (v.7) I have not any troubles with building and
running cfengine.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
