Help! I'm having problems loading expect with TCL

[NDVince]

Hello, I've tried TCL 8.3.4 and 8.3.3 with expect versions 5.3.1 and 5.3.7, and everytime I try to run expect I get this error:

117/usr/local/bin>expect
ld.so.1: expect: fatal: libtcl8.3.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

TCL seems to work fine by itself (running tclsh) but expect fails every time. libtcl8.3.so is located in /usr/local/lib as I believe it should be.. Is there a way to retry the install with a clean state? Is there something else wrong that I need to be thinking about? I've tried reinstalling several times with no success. Any input would be appreciated. thanks!

Just a guess, but a few things I'd check:

- check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH environment variables. Mine look like:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/pkg/TclPro1.4/solaris-sparc/libother entries)
PATH=/var/pkg/TclPro1.4/solaris-sparc/binother entries)


-are you sure the file in "/usr/local/lib" is actualyl called "libtcl8.3.so"? I seem to remember cases where it was named just "libtcl.so".

Hope this helps - someone more adept may have a better answer, though!
