i have RH9 install on my PC. it has been running fine for the last several months. i am now attempting to install Expect.
in order for that to happen i need to install Tcl. i have found the Tcl/tk rpm files on the install disks which i have attempted to install using the RPM package manager. however, i am having no end of problems.
#rpm -ivh tcllib-1.3-88.i386.rpm
the above produces the following message (in brief): error: failed dependencies tcl is needed by tcllib-1.3-88
i am no expert in package managers but i am reading this as if the package that i am installing requires itself to be installed, but because it isn't installed it can't install itself - "a dog chasing its own tail"?
is someone able to assist me with this dilemma?
many thanks,
Luke
