                          I'm trying to install Dwarf Fortress on my MacBook Air running FreeBSD 11.0 via pkg install linux-dwarffortress. Here is some background information:

    root@machine0:~ # uname -a
    FreeBSD machine0 11.0-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p10 #1 r319768: Sat Jun 10 07:03:28 CST 2017     root@machine0:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

During the installation, I got a kernel missing Linux support error:

    [1/28] Installing linux-c6-expat-2.0.1_5...
    Cannot install package: kernel missing Linux support
    pkg: PRE-INSTALL script failed

I just updated my system today, following the instructions of the FreeBSD handbook .

How do I fix this?
