Hi,

I downloaded and installed expect for ia64 from http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Tcl/expect-5.43/ .

But I am getting the following error while executing expect.

bash-2.05b# pwd
/usr/local/bin

bash-2.05b# ./expect
/usr/lib/hpux32/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libtcl.sl'.
Killed

Please suggest.

Hi,

I downloaded the tcl8.4.12 source from http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/downloadnow84.html .
Ran the "configure" and "make install" commands in the unix directory to compile and install tcl.

later created a symbolic link
in /usr/local/lib.
ln -s libtcl8.4.sl libtcl.sl

expect is working fine now.

Thanks,
