Cygnus Folks,
If you try to execute 'expect', you get the following:
BASH.EXE-2.02$ expect
Tcl_Init failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
{} ./share/tcl8.0 ./share/tcl8.0 c:/tcl8.0/library c:/home/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
BASH.EXE-2.02$
Here's a workaround:
$ mkdir /cygnus/tcl8.0/library
$ cp /cygnus/cygwin-b20/share/tcl8.0 /cygnus/tcl8.0/library
(for "/cygnus", substitute where you installed cygwin-b20.)
The permanent fix is to configure expect when you're building it so as to
let it know where it will find tcl at run time.
