What kind of difficulties?  Does it not compile?  Do the tests fail?

No problem so far.  If those libraries were crucial, no Makefile would 
be written.  Go ahead and do a 'make' and 'make test', it should work.

BTW, there is a new version available that has a much improved pty 
allocation.  It still has beta status, as I first want to test it on as 
much different systems as possible, but if you want you could try it 
out.  Find it on CPAN under R/RG/RGIERSIG/IO-Tty-0.92_03.tar.gz.  There 
is also a matching Expect version there, Expect-1.13_01.tar.gz.

Hope this helps,

Roland
