>Description:
	rbot-0.9.6 (/usr/ports/irc/rbot) installs fine but returns the following runtime error:
	
      uplate% rbot
      /usr/local/bin/rbot:27:in `require': /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rbot/ircbot.rb:607: syntax error (SyntaxError)
	from /usr/local/bin/rbot:27

        This error occurs with latest ports of ruby:
	ruby-1.8.1_2
	ruby18-bdb-0.5.0

	I also encountered this problem with older port revisions and the latest source from the author's site. In fact it, was present in every installation I tried.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Have the above ports installed and run rbot.
>Fix:
      The problem is a syntax error in line 607 or ircbot.rb:
      607:      say m.replyto, help $1

      It can be fixed by changing it to:
      607:      say m.replyto, help($1)
