The configure script still try to find tk even though it is supposed to build without X support: >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-tcltk/expect-5.44.1.15/work/expect-5.44.1.15 ... * econf: updating expect-5.44.1.15/tclconfig/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub * econf: updating expect-5.44.1.15/tclconfig/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess * econf: updating expect-5.44.1.15/config.sub with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub * econf: updating expect-5.44.1.15/config.guess with /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 --with-tclinclude=/usr/lib64/tcl8.5/include/generic --with-tk=/usr/lib64 --with-tkinclude=/usr/include --enable-shared --enable-threads --enable-64bit --disable-symbols checking for correct TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.5) configuring expect 5.44.1.15 checking for autoconf... yes checking for Tcl configuration... found /usr/lib64/tclConfig.sh checking for existence of /usr/lib64/tclConfig.sh... loading checking for Tk configuration... configure: error: /usr/lib64 directory doesn't contain tkConfig.sh
confirmed, it seems to unconditionally need Tk
I think expect should be usable on system that don't have X11 (since it is mainly used to script commandline tools...) This patch worked for me: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=313179&aid=2798801&group_id=13179

The link indeed just died... >_> And I can't find any alternative link so I'll copy here the initial comment as well as the patch
Created attachment 232865 [details, diff] dev-tcltk/expect/files/expect-5.44.1.13_with-tk-no.patch Initial Comment: Patch made against cvs version 5.44.1.13 allowing to compile again without Tk For example, when expect is only intented to run gcc test, that make no sense to require Tk installed. I have not restored --with-x=no but changed existing --with-tk to support variant --with-tk=no. If that's desirable, I could rework my patch to use again --with-x=no. I have not changed the indentation despite having added one if fi level in 3 m4 macro. That make the patch much smaller and more readable. I could update the indentation at maintainer request.
Created attachment 232869 [details, diff] dev-tcltk/expect/expect-5.44.1.15-r1.ebuild And the patch for the ebuild.
