Expect 5.43 on HPUX 11.11 "Tcl_Init failed"

[Mike Fain]

I've installed tcltk-8.5.7-hppa-11.11.depot and expect-5.43-hppa-11.11.depot (in that order) and when I run my expect script, I get the following error:

Tcl_Init failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3 /opt/lib/tcl8.3 /lib/tcl8.3 /lib/tcl8.3/library /library /tcl8.3/library tcl8.3/library /usr/local/lib/tcl8.3


the file exsists:
>ll /usr/local/lib/tcl8.3/init.tcl
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 17273 Aug 27 2008 /usr/local/lib/tcl8.3/init.tcl

I have it running on another host, but can't get it to work on this one.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing the error message?

Did you google the error message ?

export TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3

Although I'm not a tcl user, I hope this works.

That fixed it. I didn't see that solution when I was searching that error. I also had to open permissions on the /usr/local/lib dir.

Thanks!!

setting TCL_LIBRARY fixed my issue
