I have had same issue with ealier releases, but at that time all the files in the "games" section were missing. If you have the above mentioned files available, a quick fix could be to: cd /usr/src/games make install If the files mentioned not are available, you need to download the source, see the Handbook. .. worked for me, but there might be other problems, maybe some of the hardcore hackers here can answer ;-) -- Mvh/Brgds Harry FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE Compiled at Sun Feb 8 09:18:07 CET 2009 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Where is my STRFILE?
Even tried that. In /usr/ports/games/freebsd-games are the classical games, but not the fortunes and the strfile. Have it installed now, still no strfile. If I try installing the fortunes, the port-makefile complains that there is no strfile available. Do you daemons have the binary 'strfile' on your system? Could you please check and tell me! Maybe somebody can send me this single binary file offlist by email?

Looks like it comes with fortune. /usr/src/games/fortune/strfile Make sure you did install FreeBSD with games and/or updated it with games. /etc/make.conf -> NO_GAMES set?

/usr/games/strfile ..not there. Checked with locate, no strfile anywhere on 7.1! Maybe it came with a port download of a game? Did they forget it on 7.1?

Where is my STRFILE?
Hi Daemons, strange, I have the manpage of strfile, but not the binary itself. I think its supposed to be content of every freebsd default installation? Or not? Its not a port, isnt it? Can please anybody check and invoke >strfile on his comp? I have FreeBSD 7.1 here. I want my fortunes back, they dont install without strfile!!
