Hi, kibitz fails because it can not execute /bin/write which on redhat lives in /usr/bin/write please fix the path in the kibitz executable. regards, Benno.
I have verified this behaviour in our test lab. The path to the write executable is indeed incorrect. This has been assigned to a developer.
kibitz belongs to the expect package while the write executable belongs to util-linux so therefore I hasve assigned it to the owner of the util-linux package.
The path needs to be changed in expect.
*** Bug 2026 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The kibitz script, which is a part of expect, has the path to the write program hard-coded as /bin/write. write is actually found in /usr/bin/write, so kibitz breaks unless /usr/bin/write is symlinked to /bin/write (or the script is changed). Using expect-5.26-20 and util-linux-2.8-11, kibitz prints "sh: /bin/write: no such file or directory". (I'm submitting this as a util-linux bug, though it's really an expect bug, because there is no category for expect bugs.)
Path changed to /usr/bin/write in tcltk-8.0.4-29.
