Expect Installation problem

Vasudevan MV — Mon, 15 Apr 2002 08:44:57 GMT

Hi,

I have downloaded "expect-5.36" on 11.x, but when I tried to install it gave lot of problem. My box does NOT have acc & gcc. I have downloaded tcl-8.2 & tk-8.2(binary version) because expect need this. I have installed both tcl & tk, but I found only one file "tclsh" under /opt/tcl-8.2/bin & wish under /opt/tk-8.2/bin/X11. I have to install Except, I want to know about the differences between Expect & tcl. Where can I get the expect binary version. How do I install the full expect, tcl & tk?.

Thanks
Vasu

Hi Steven,

Thanks for ur quick response, I have downloaded expect (binary version) & installed, when I try to run the file /opt/expect/bin/expectk, it failed to execute. I got the tcl & tk-8.2.1 from the following sites

http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Tcl/tcl-8.2.1/
http://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hppd/hpux/Tcl/tk-8.2.1/

But I saw the same site for tcl & tk when I click on the link (the one u sent)

NOTE: I have attached the error messages

Suggestion r welcome.

Thanks
Vasu

The install of tcl/tk has a bug. I installed tcl/tk (8.2)
from one of the distribution centers. I had to add a soft link called tk8.2 in /opt/tcl-8.2 that points to
/opt/tk-8.2/lib/X11 to get tcl/tk to work.
