fortune-mod doesn't want to compile

[WhackAMole]

I have done an un-collision-protected install of recode to get it going (I can always reinstall the MacOS on this machine), but it just doesn't want to work. It died once saying I needed to update the table of contents for /usr/lib/recode.a with ranlib (which I did). Now it is dying with this error:

Code: Select all

cd datfiles && make COOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune \
            OCOOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune/off WCOOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune/html \
            OFFENSIVE= WEB=0
gcc -s -o fortune fortune.o -lrecode
if [  = 1 ] ; then \
    cd off && make OCOOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune/off ; fi
/bin/sh: line 1: [: =: unary operator expected
if [ 0 = 1 ] ; then \
    cd html && make WCOOKIEDIR=/usr/share/fortune/html; fi

!!! ERROR: games-misc/fortune-mod-1.99.1 failed.

!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Any ideas?
