tlug: expect compile problems

[Jim Schweizer <schweiz@example.com>]

Hi all,

When I upgraded Tcl/Tk last summer, it broke a lot of things including expect.
I tried to compile a new one, but it doesn't want to cooperate. The configure
goes fine, but when I try to make it:

root:/usr/local/lib/expect-5.18# make
gcc -c  -I. -I. -I/usr/local/lib/tcl  -I/usr/X11R6/include
-DEXP_VERSION=\"5.18.1\" -DSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/expect\"
-DEXECSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/local/lib/expect\" -DTCL_DEBUGGER 
-DDFLT_STTY=\""sane"\"  exp_command.c
exp_command.c:159: macro `va_start' used with too many (2) args
make: *** [exp_command.o] Error 1

it dies almost immediately. I don't know much about C, but I tried messing with
the exp_command.c file and didn't get anywhere.

Anytime I try to use the expect I have I get:

Tcl_Init failed: version mismatch: library
scripts expect Tcl version 7.5b1 or later but the loaded version is
only 7.4

I've been using telnet a lot to systems admin work on a box across town and
would really like to automate the login. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Jim S.
