It has to do with the previous build of tcl. There is a file called tclConfig.sh which I have installed in /tools/lib, but which apparently is sometimes missing. "The missing tclConfig.sh shows up during the compiling of tcl.Just before the file should be created there is a 'waiting time'. No build error of tcl shows up during compiling. If this file was created i could build several times expect with no error. If this file was lacking, expect fails and points as well to glibc inconsistencies." Weird... tclConfig.sh is created from tclConfig.sh.in by top level configure, then used by subdirectories configure. If it were not created, all those configure should complain. Well; we should have a bank of errors and possible causes... Pierre Yes, weird. In several repeated attempts to date, before attempting to compile Chapter5's expect5.45.4, I verified the existence of /tools/lib/tclConfig.sh, /tools/lib/libutil.so.1, and /tools/lib/libpthreadso.0, all of which the linker in expect5.45.4's make process then reports as missing. The only oddity I've found in all the files produced up to that point is that the file /tools/lib/libpthread.so is not a symlink but a file containing this text: /* GNU ld script Use the shared library, but some functions are only in the static library, so try that secondarily. */ OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf64-x86-64) GROUP ( /tools/lib/libpthread.so.0 /tools/lib/libpthread_nonshared.a ) ...but the file libpthread.so.0 is (correctly) a link to libpthread-2.27.so, and libpthread.so is not referenced by the linker, so this seems unrelated.
