Whenever the next time somebody updates this package, word of warning:

 

This was in Chapter 5, current SVN (20100601).

 

NIST no longer hosts the Expect program and redirects to SourceForge.

 

Expect (5.43.0) - 513 KB:

Looks like this changed 4/2010.

SourceForge only has
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/Expect/5.44.1.15/expect-5.44.1
.15.tar.gz/download> expect-5.44.1.15.tar.gz and
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/Expect/5.44.1.15/expect-5.44.1
.15.tar.bz2/download> expect-5.44.1.15.tar.bz2.

 

So I grabbed them.  Bad idea.  Expect now requires Tk and Tcl and Tk
requires the X11 headers.  The -without-x parameter on the Tk build doesn't
seem to work.  I tried a couple of things, but it just wasn't worth it -
this is C5, after all.  so I gave up trying to be clever and pulled down the
book version, 5.43.0, which (of course ;-)) worked.

 

Figured I'd post the note for the next (poor fool) to try and trod that
path.
