Red Hat

Hi ,

I am tryin to install expect rpm on my linux machine.

I have the source file expect-5.42.1-1.src.rpm

I am doin this

rpm -ivh expect-5.42.1-1.src.rpm

But I am gettin this error

warning: expect-5.42.1-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature : NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES



So, I have created that path.(In the sense, added some dir's)


Now, when I run it again

I have got

warning: expect-5.42.1-1.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature : NOKEY, key ID db42a60e

1.expect: ########################## 100%


But when try to use expect now ,it would say

command not found.


Can someone help me with this.

Thanks,

Sunny

You've just installed the source, now you have to compile it and then install it, there are many tutorials on the net how to do that. But you should skip that part, and download the expect compiled rpm and install it directly. You can even install via Internet, as in : "rpm -Uvh http://server.com/expect.rpm" - just replace the path.
Also, what is your OS ? If it's RPM based package system, use their repos and download via yum, yast or the respective instrument.

I always suggest using Active state's (ActiveState - Dynamic Tools for Dynamic Languages) Tcl for developers and administrators that want a more recent and feature-complete distribution.
