Talking about fortune(6), why has it stopped working? The binary (or is it a perl script?) seems to have disappeared on my system - 6-STABLE, although I'm sure it disappeared sometime whilst running 5-STABLE. The fortune data files are there (though looking at the timestamps, they're out of date), just no binary/script.

grep NO_GAMES /etc/make.conf


Thanks for the tip, but it's not that.


Well, no prob here (as evidenced in .sig).

cd /usr/src/games/fortune && sudo make install?


Ah-ha! the paths seem to have changed somewhere down the line:

/usr/src/games/fortune{104}# make install
===> fortune (install)
install -s -o root -g wheel -m 555   fortune /usr/games
install: /usr/games/fortune: Inappropriate file type or format

On my system, /usr/games/fortune is a directory containing the dat files.

rm -r'd /usr/games/fortune and it installed properly and now works :-)

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Mark
