Expect install Fedora core 2

[paultazzyman 0]

HI !!

 

I have just installed ActiveTcl8.4.7.0-linux-ix86 and am now trying to install expect-5.42 but when I run ./configure I get :-

 

"configure: warning: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions" followed by :-

 

"./configure: line 1106: #: No such file or directory" I guess I need a link - but from what to what ???

 

Has anyone got Expect working on fedora 2 ??

 

Thanks

Hello Paul,

 

I am glad to read thru your posted, question and solution found (by your self).

 

I am new to Linux (with some little exprience), I installed Fedora 3. And now I am try to learn TCL and Expect.

 

Would you please share with me on:

where to download the expect?

 

I check my PC I see that there is tcl8.4.7 is installed (this version would be fine, I might not need to 8.4.9, unless I have to)

 

[rpm -qa | grep tcl]

 

But [rpm -qa |grep expect]

Found nothing.

 

Can you share with me on how to install the Expect.

 

The Linux / TCL / Expect have make a very complicated and lots of difficulties for user to install. Of course the Linux guru would have no problem, but, as many user, before becoming guru they have been a noviced.

 

I hope that you can point me out and share with me.

 

Thanks,

Hi timolthy_keithy and welcome,

 

I don't think paultazzyman will mind if I point you in the right direction. Yum is a package management utility that will install apps and take care of dependencies for you. Open a terminal, and as root go:

 

yum update [enter]

 

This may take a while...

 

After yum updates itself, go:

 

yum install nameofpackge [enter]

 

And it should take care of it.

 

Apt-get RPM is also another great utility for installing packages. I hope this helps.
