Most maintenance of Expect is now performed by ActiveState employees.

I build the CVS head expect and tcl on sparc solaris 8 using Sun's C
compilers. They build and install. Howevfer, when I attempt to use
expectk with your script I get the error:
Application initialization failed: version conflict for package "Tcl":
have 8.6b1.1, need exactly 8.6

I'm going to submit a bug report at http://expect.sf.net/

Yes, there is something wrong with the expectk wrapper, at least in
Slackware 13.0. What seems to be happening is that none of the key bindings
are created, because the initialization scripts aren't being run. So the
keys don't work on the widgets.

Expectk seems to have its own version of the Tk initialization procedure,
and it appears to not work right. That was as far as I got, but it
didn't look to me like the problem is Slackware specific.

If you need expect and Tk together, you might have more success running
expect and then using {package require Tk}.

Turns out I already had submitted a bug report about this issue some
time ago.
