Maybe 6 months ago, tcl was brought into current, and the tk41 port was made to compile for a tcl that was installed with the system. At that point, you could no longer use the tk41 port to make tk41 on an older (which means 2.1.5) system. Expect depends on both tcl and tk, naturally. Why don't you use the tk41 and tcl75 ports from the 2.1.5 cd? The software on that cd doesn't know about tcl being brought into FreeBSD, and should compile fine on your system. If you don't have the cd handy, tell me, I'll dig it out, get all 3 ports (expect, tcl75, and tk41) from it and mail them to you. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
