question about install expect?

[faust2004]

Hi, experts,
I download pre-compiled binary depot of expect and tcl and tk from http://hpux.connect.org.uk ,
I store the depot in /ys, the swinstall -s
depot,
when I exec expect, it failed :

hp_ov:/var/ys/expect-5.36/home/ys/bin# ./expect
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /home/ys/lib/libtcl8.3.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

can anybody tell me why?
thanks
Sunny

Sunny,

It seems to be a PATH problem ... Do you have all your environment variables needed for expect exported correctly ...

Do a echo $PATH ...

Thanks,

.:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/contrib/bin:/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/fc/bin

I can find the /var/ys/expect-5.36/home/ys/lib/libtcl8.3.sl file, but expect look for the /home/ys/lib/libtcl8.3.sl

Hi,

You need to install Tcl and Tk which are required for Expect to run properly.

You can download the Tcl/Tk toolkit from here:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Tcl/

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

Try setting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and SHLIB_PATH and see if it works.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,

If that doesn't work, my guess is that probably the depot creator hardcoded some of the absolute path of the libraries during the conversion.

If this issue is unresolved, I would use either Ansi-C or gcc to compile tcl, tk and expect straight from downloaded sources (instead of binaries) using the usual ./configure, make and make install.

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi , steven,
How to use gcc if I have not cc. must I chang the make file or sth ?

[Steven Sim Kok Leong]

Hi,

If you do not have gcc or ansi-c, then you will need to download and swinstall the depot from the free depot software site.

If you already have gcc, it will be installed as /usr/local/bin/gcc. Just make sure that it is in your PATH.

./configure will automatically detect whether your gcc works and use it.

Hope this helps. Regards.
