[lfs-support] tclInt.h error in Expect-5.45.4
Received this error message when running ./config for Expect-5.45.4 in LFS Stable 8.4: "checking for Tcl private include files... configure: error: Cannot find private header tclInt.h in /mnt/lfs/sources/tcl8.6.9" I looked in the tcl8.6.9 file and the only reference to tclInt.h is in the second line of the file but it is in the initial comment section. How can I get the tclInt.h error fixed.
