[QUOTE=vikas027;302188047]Hi all,


I am trying to install expect utility on RHEL 5. It is showing that we also need to install tcl also in order to run it.

I wonder why you are installing old version, while expect is by default available in EL-5

rpm -qf /usr/bin/expect
expect-5.43.0-5.1

Regards,
Bash

NAME

       byobu-launcher-install - Byobu Launcher installation utility

SYNOPSIS

       byobu-launcher-install [-n|--no-logout]

DESCRIPTION

       byobu-launcher-install(1)  is  a  simple utilty that will add a line to your $HOME/.profile file which launches byobu(1) any time you login
       through ssh(1) or on a console(4).

       By default, when users detach from  the	byobu(1)  session  they  will  also  logout.   Users  can  change  this  behavior  by  adding  the
       [-n|--no-logout] option when they run byobu-launcher-install(1).

       You can disable this behavior entirely at any time with the byobu-launcher-uninstall(1) utility.

SEE ALSO

       screen(1), byobu(1), ssh(1), console(4), byobu-launcher-uninstall(1)
