Re: Installing Expect

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally, I prefer to have expect (and anything else I download) 
installed into /usr/local/xxx -- that way, if I want to save/restore 
everything to another system, I have only to save the /usr/local 
directory and restore it on the other system.  If you put it into 
/qopensys/usr/bin or similar, you won't be able to do that because it'll 
 be mixed in with the OS/400 provided stuff.

So "local" is for "stuff that's local to this machine, not stuff 
installed everywhere"

Just add /usr/local/bin to your PATH envvar.
