Missing Expect package in RHEL Desktop 6.5

Latest response

I was wondering if anyone has come across this and resolved this issue, or if this is just an issue? I'm setting up a virtual environment for IBM BigInsights 2.1 and need to have 'expect' installed on my system. When I look here (http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2012-0456.html), it implies that 'expect' has been released for RHEL Desktop. However, when I do yum install expect, or try to install software, it can't find it.

Has anyone else encountered this, or know a way I can quickly resolve this?

It looks like I was able to hunt around and solve the issue. The 'expect' package is a "Optional RPM." So I had to update my sources in the Add/Remove Software application.
