Expect fails to successfully build (configure line needs change)

[tromador]

At configure time:

checking for Tcl configuration... configure: warning: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions Dbgconfigure: line 742: #: No such file or directory cp: cannot stat `./Dbg19072/tcldbgcf.h': No such file or directory

and on building:

gcc -pipe -c -I. -I. -I/usr/include -DEXP_VERSION=\"5.43.0\" -DSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/lib/expect5.43\" -DEXECSCRIPTDIR=\"/usr/lib/expect5.43\" -DTCL_DEBUGGER -DUSE_NON_CONST -DSTTY_BIN=\"/bin/stty\" -DDFLT_STTY="\"sane\"" Dbg.c Dbg.c:13:22: error: tcldbgcf.h: No such file or directory make: * [Dbg.o] Error 1

SOLUTION:

Add to --with-tcl=/usr/lib to configure line as in...

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tclinclude=/usr/include --with-tcl=/usr/lib --enable-shared

I've built Expect 3-4 times recently after the change to the Tcl build instructtions without issues.
