While building lfs-development (SVN-20040614), I found that expect won't compile in chapter 5. The configure script bombs out with the error:
configure: error: Can't find Tcl private headers I don't understand how expect's configure script works, but it seems to be thrown off by the version number of tcl, since the third field of tcl's version number is now (as of June 12th) a two-digit number (10 instead of 9). I found two ways to get around this: 1. Change the name of tcl's source code directory tree: mv ../tcl8.4.10 ../tcl8.4.9 ./configure --prefix=/tools --with-tcl=/tools/lib --with-x=no 2. Add an option to the configure line: ./configure --prefix=/tools --with-tcl=/tools/lib --with-x=no \ --with-tclinclude=../tcl8.4.10 -- "Life's not fair, but the root password helps." -- BOFH -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
