I installed expect from the depot with the command swinstall -s /file.depot. And it is successfully but when i try to compile from binary with the command ./configure --enable-threads --enable-shared --with-tcl=/usr/local/lib/tcltk --with-tk=/usr/local/lib/tcltk and run make i failed.It stops with the fallowing error:

Stop.

How can compile expect with the option -lpthread ?
Thanks...

[Dennis Handly]

How did you add -lpthread to the link line? Did you remove an existing lib or change the order? Do you know what lib has those exp* symbols? expStateAnyIs ...

You can search your libs and objects with:
$ nm -pxAN libs ... objs | fgrep -e expStateAnyIs -e expStateCheck ...

(Upper case would be definitions.)

If you don't know how to fiddle with the build system, you could always use: LDOPTS=-lpthread

Or going back to your initial version, if you use:
$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1 ./testt.exp

As you said when i export LD_PRELOAD then expect works fine.

Thanks, Dennis...
