Description
Expect says it cannot complete ./configure, saying that:
configuring Expect 5.38.0 checking for autoconf... no checking configure up to date... no configure: warning: ./configure appears to be old (./configure.in and/or ./Makefile.in are newer) and the autoconf program to fix this situation was not found. If you've no idea what this means, enter the command "touch ./configure" and restart ./configure.
If you do as suggested, it will configure correctly and compile & install though.
So insted of:
./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no
do:
./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no touch ./configure ./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no
Note that touch ./configure will have no effect if the configure script haven't been run once first.

Unable to dupliate this problem thru a number of CVS builds.
