Are you running a 64-bit ActiveTcl on Windows? Expect has not been ported to 64-bit Windows. A Windows 64-bit port of Expect is not trivial, and may not be possible. ------------------------------------------- Are you running ActiveTcl 8.5.x or 8.6.x?
I am new to linux and i have few expect scripts to execute. I read few blogs on how to install expect and tcl. The command i am trying is. Sudo yum install expect sudo yum install tcl I am getting. No package expect available No package tcl available It seems RHEL should have tcl and expect prebuilt but this is not the case in my version of linux.
With ActiveTcl 8.5.x and 8.6.x, the number of extensions shipped with ActiveTcl is limited. This controls size bloat in the installers. Expect is not included inside the installer for ActiveTcl 8.5 or 8.6. Modules can be downloaded and installed over the internet for ActiveTcl 8.5 and 8.6 through the TEApot package manager.
With ActiveTcl installed, Expect can be added from the command line with: teacup install Expect You may need to set up your environment if you are running behind a firewall or proxy server. See the user manuals for teacup (or ActivePerl's PPM manager since it requires the same setup). There is no stand-alone installer for Expect, or any other Tcl package. A package is not a stand-alone product.
