What's up with "expect"

I posted a question about controlling a ftp process from
a shell script a few days ago.  Many of the responses
I got told me I should obtain the "expect" package.  Well,
I followed the advice and got it from an internet site.  In the
instructions it said I need to also get TCL.  I figured it was
a library.  The problem comes when I try to build TCL.  It is full
of errors!  I perused through a correction document and discovered
that I needed to modify several routines and countless other errors.
The version of TCL I got was from durer.cme.nist.gov.  Is there any-
where on the internet I can get a "bug free" (at least buildable)
version of TCL.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  BTW,
at our site we are running BSD 4.3, if that matters.  Thanks again.
