There is no such thing as a fortune compiler. I wish I could "compile a fortune to me" by running a command. (joking)

The nearest thing to a fortune "compiler" is strfile, and it is in the fortune-mod package.

But I think you mean *fortran* compiler

If that is the case, you can install it by typing:

sudo aptitude install fortran-compiler
