Re: [Swarm-Support] Problems installing Drone

[Paul Johnson]

I don't have RH EL4, but I do have Fedora Core 4, which is closely 
related.  I'd suggest you do not try to build Expect yourself, but 
rather install the expect rpm.  If RH EL does not have it, get the one 
from Fedora.  After installing, you will have this:

# rpm -ql expect
/usr/bin/autoexpect
/usr/bin/dislocate
/usr/bin/expect
/usr/bin/ftp-rfc
/usr/bin/kibitz
/usr/bin/lpunlock
/usr/bin/mkpasswd
/usr/bin/passmass
/usr/bin/rftp
/usr/bin/rlogin-cwd
/usr/bin/timed-read
/usr/bin/timed-run
/usr/bin/unbuffer
/usr/bin/weather
/usr/bin/xkibitz

In the drone script, the top has

#!/usr/bin/expect --
# You'll have to change the above line to match your installation


I'm still using the old drone, version 1.03.  There is nothing to 
compile with that one, so I don't understand the rest of your question.
