Do you see following files on your system:

/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/Makefile
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.8
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.c
/usr/src/games/fortune/strfile/strfile.h

Is your system 7.1-RELEASE ?

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 ;-)
