[Expectperl-discuss] Expect on Mac OS X...

[Allen H. <al...@hu...>]

Hi,

Does anyone on the list have any experience getting Expect to work on Mac OS
X? I find that the tests fail very early in the make test, and was hoping
that someone can point me in the right direction.

Here are the errors I see when building Expect with CPAN:

  CPAN.pm: Going to build R/RG/RGIERSIG/Expect-1.15.tar.gz

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Expect
cp Expect.pm blib/lib/Expect.pm
cp Expect.pod blib/lib/Expect.pod
Manifying blib/man3/Expect.3
  /usr/bin/make  -- OK
Running make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
1..36

Basic tests...

ok 1
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at test.pl line 37.
not ok 2
# Test failed at test.pl line 22.
Died at test.pl line 22.
make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK



Thanks,

Allen
