[Gumstix-users] Expect issue

[Laker N. <lak...@ya...>]

I posted the following, between dashes on
comp.lang.tcl, but thought I'd post here too in case
it's a Linux or Gumstix specific issue.

---------------------
I generated a small script using autoexpect to login
to one of our routers as part of a bigger project.
After some minor tweaking to straighten out control
codes all worked as expected (ouch, pardon the pun).
This was on a Fedora Core 4 box.
I cross-compiled Expect for an ARM processor. I had to
do some tomfoolery with the configure script to get it
compiled, but not a big deal, i.e., I don't *think* it
broke any internal functionality. I moved the binary
over to the target system, launched Expect and
received the anticipated prompt. From the CLI I could
enter commands and they would execute successfully, as
did small hand written scripts.
Then I copied over my script from the Fedora box and
executed it. The telnet session spawned successfully,
but hung (and still hangs) at the Username: prompt.
send isn't sending...
Before I blame the binary what should I look at first?
FWIW, Expect is referencing libtcl8.4.so which I also
created via cross-compilation without incident.
----------------------
Could it be busybox related?  I tried compiling in the
telnet client with and without the "pass TERM" and
"pass USER" options to no effect.

TIA,
 Laker
