Fink's expect won't install
Authored by: ClarkGoble on Dec 30, '02 03:32:55PM

For some reason, whether it is 10.2.3 or something else, Fink won't install expect. Installing the source by hand doesn't work right either unless you are careful and modify a few settings.

The easy way to get expect is to install Wish from either Source Forge or Version Tracker. It includes a separate TCL "shell" and allows you to run TK programs as well. Not only does it install tclsh in /usr/bin but expect as well.

There are a few quirks with it. For some reason shell scripts with tclsh don't always work as expected. But by and large it is a nice way to get TCL, TK, and Expect working.
