Errors running expect

[Richard J Harper]

I have just installed expect on one of our servers and I get the following errors when I try to run it:

host1:/home/root >/usr/local/bin/expect
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: Tcl_Release (plabel) from /usr/local/lib/libexpect.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: Tcl_ErrnoMsg (plabel) from /usr/local/lib/libexpect.sl
Abort(coredump)

I am using the latest versions of expect, tcltk, etc. from the HP-UX Porting Centre and I have installed all the runtime dependencies that are listed.

I would be grateful for any suggestions

The following may or may not be useful....

host1:/home/root >ldd /usr/local/lib/libexpect.sl
/usr/lib/libc.2 => /usr/lib/libc.2
/usr/lib/libdld.2 => /usr/lib/libdld.2

[Richard J Harper]

I suppose it might be helpful if I mentioned some versions ...

HP-UX 11.11
Expect 5.43
Tcltk 8.5.7
libXft 2.1.13

[Dennis Handly · Accepted solution]

Where should these symbols be defined?
Can you use nm on usr/local/bin/expect and /usr/obam/lib/libtcl.sl. Is the latter the right one, since not in /usr/local/lib?

host1:/home/root >nm /usr/local/bin/expect

(I only needed to see those two missing symbols.)

>nm /usr/obam/lib/libtcl.sl
>nm: /usr/obam/lib/libtcl.sl: no symbols

The proper tool for shlibs is odump:
odump -slimp -slexp /usr/obam/lib/libtcl.sl |
grep -e Tcl_ErrnoMsg -e Tcl_Release

[Richard J Harper]

Thanks for the response, I get no matches when I run that command

[Richard J Harper]

Fixed it ... the SHLIB_PATH was wrong, it should have been /usr/local/lib as you suggested ... points assigned, many thanks

[Dennis Handly]

>points assigned, many thanks

Please read the following about assigning points. (You need to push the submit button.)

Sorry, had a bit of a 'Friday' moment ...
