expect not working on Linux Posted by Nuts (Nuts), 25 September 2007 I need a bit of help regarding the installation of expect on linux. I am not able to run any script using expect. Though it was working fine sometime back but since I recently have a fresh installation of Linux. After the installation, I tried every possible(installation of expect, tcl etc) thing but nothing has really worked out for me. Its giving the following error as below. Trace -------- [neetesh@neetesh-OME ~]$ expect expect: error while loading shared libraries: libexpect5.43.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Could you help me guys on this ?? thanx, Nuts Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 25 September 2007 Either expect isn't installed, or it is installed and the library is in the wrong place, or you've got a problem with the version numbers. As a first stage, I would look around for the library and also have a look at things like the LDPATH.Posted by Nuts (Nuts), 25 September 2007 I am using the following versions for tcl and expect- expect-5.43 - tcl8.4.15 Here tcl is working fine but expect isn't. I copied both the tcl and expect package in the following dir /usr/local/src Then I run the configure command as follows : ./configure =/usr --with-tcl=/usr/lib --with-tclinclude=/usr/local/src/tcl8.4.15 --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-threads --enable-gcc | tee config_trc1 Trace for config_trc1 ===================== configuring Expect 5.43.0 checking for autoconf... yes checking configure up to date... yes checking host system type... checking target system type... checking build system type... checking shell to use within Make... checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for building with threads... no (default) checking for Tcl configuration... found /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh checking Tcl build library... -L/usr/lib -ltcl8.4 -ldl -lieee -lm checking for Tcl_CreateCommand... yes checking if Tcl library build specification is valid... yes checking for Tk configuration... checking for Tk_Init... no checking if Tk library build specification is valid... no checking whether the compiler (i386-redhat-linux-gcc -pipe) actually works... yes checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for ranlib... ranlib checking how to run the C preprocessor... i386-redhat-linux-gcc -pipe -E checking if running LynxOS... no checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for pid_t... yes checking return type of signal handlers... void checking whether time.h and sys/time.h may both be included... yes checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes checking if running Mach... no checking if running MachTen... no checking if on Pyramid... no checking if on Apollo... no checking if on Interactive... no checking stty to use... /bin/stty checking if stty reads stdout... no checking if running Solaris... no checking for sin... no checking for Tcl private headers... found in /usr/local/src/tcl8.4.15/generic checking type of library to build... both shared and unshared loading cache .././config.cache checking for gcc...

I don't know the history of your build / what is where, nut I do question whether you're using one version of Tcl that's supplied with you OS for part of the build, and the include files for a later version that you've installed yourself, and they're not mixing very well. Posted by Nuts (Nuts), 28 September 2007 Hi Graham,The expect issue is resolved. The issue was with the env variable $PATH in the .bash_profile. Thanks for your help. thanx, Nuts This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
