tcl_expect

jgd1947 — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 03:35:35 GMT

I have installed tcl and expect on a HP RX6600 Unix version 11.23. Both software list as install with swlist command. However, when I enter the command "./autoexpect" from the path # /opt/expect/bin I get the error "./autoexpect[3]: tclsh: not found" . What am I doing wrong.

Thanks,

Where is tclsh? Somewhere in /usr/local/bin/? Is that in your PATH?

Sometimes after installing a product, the path to the binaries is added to /etc/PATH. And to take affect, you must relogin.

tclsh is located in the following paths: I have logged out and back in several time. the software was installed yesterday and I have logged in and out as root several times.

/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/lib/tclx8.4/help/tcl/intro/tclsh
/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin/tclsh
/usr/local/bin/tclsh
/data/TCL/ActiveTcl8.4.19.1.286921-hpux-parisc/payload/bin/tclsh
/data/TCL/ActiveTcl8.4.19.1.286921-hpux-parisc/payload/lib/tclx8.4/help/tcl/inth

Thanks for the quick reply

Then you'll have to manually update your $PATH.

I looked in /etc/PATH and these are the last 2 entries in the file.

Sorry, forgot the entries

/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin:/opt/expect/bin

>/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin:/opt/expect/bin

This should do it, provided ~/.profile adds /etc/PATH to its $PATH.

Otherwise add that path to the part of .profile that fiddle with $PATH:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin

I put $PATH in the .profile. Now when I try and run the autoexpect command I get the following error:

can't find package Expect
while executing
"package require Expect"
(file "./autoexpect" line 4)

I do not know what you mean by the PATH=$PATH:/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/bin?

Do I need to put this entire statement in the .profile?

Thanks,

Jim

It appears you already added that line since you're getting farther.

>can't find package Expect

There may be some other paths you need to set? Or else you didn't install Expect where it wants it?

I've just add "load /usr/local/lib/hpux32/expect5.45/libexpect5.45.so" line before the line "package require Expect", and then no error given, but when I execute autoexpect, it just hang there, nothing happening :(

no command are working there, can anyone help ?

#./autoexpect

just hang here, nothing happening

Thanks this worked for me adding the

load /usr/local/lib/hpux32/expect5.45/libexpect5.45.so" line before the line "package require Expect",

Thanks
