Subject: Re: Installing Expect

Usually, (I can't speak for this package), the contents are installed into a
subdirectory of the current directory.

I just looked at it on our system. when I ran the tar command, it produced
a
directory named usr. Inside that directory is a single directory local.

Inside local are four more directories: bin include lib and man

So an easy way to do this would be to copy the tar file to the / directory,
which has, among other directories, usr. Then, run tar from there. The
contents will get placed into the proper directories.

Quoting "Burke, Joel" <jburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

Can somebody post a detailed explanation on how to install expect? I
cannot
get to Scott Klement's articles because they require a ProVIP membership
which i do not have access to right now. I have download the tar and I
know
that i uncompress and run tar -xvf expect.5.43.tar. My main question is
where should i put the tar before i run the tar -xvf command? I want to
make
sure the files get place in the correct location.

TIA
