Friends,
I thought of installing EXPECT but unable to execute 'make', its throwing errors. Am not a 'root' user, will I not be able to install EXPECT in my home directory?
What sort of errors is make throwing? Can you provide some examples?
/export/home/tbnaadh/tcl/expect-5.43 $ make test

Where did you get the expect sources from? Is there a header (include file) named "tclUnixPort.h" on your system?
I downloaded the Expect from "http://expect.nist.gov/\#unix.". I have the below said header file on my system.
/qawac/home/tbnaadh/tcl/tcl8.5.7/unix/tclUnixPort.h
Why isn't make could not figure out this header file.

Now getting a different error. i have added the absolute path in tclPort.h file as shown below
#if defined(__WIN32__)
# include "tclWinPort.h"
#else
# include "/export/home/tbnaadh/tcl/tcl8.5.7/unix/tclUnixPort.h"
#endif
Now i am getting the below error while "make"
/export/home/tbnaadh/tcl/expect-5.43 $ make

That is the wrong way to include a header from a non-standard location.
You need to add a -I<path_to_location> option to the compiler.
fpmurphy,
I dont have much experience. Can you pleae make me understandable by the above statement. What should I run @ command prompt?
man gcc
You basically need to modify your Makefile.
Were you able to resolve your issue... I am also trying to install Expect and getting same error
Command Failed for target `exp_command.o`
I am new to Unix and used following command for make
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/tcl8.5.3/unix/
