Sure. I think that if you have installed that package properly then something wrong with your PATH variable.
- check with 'which expect'  - in my case it is -/usr/bin/expect
-execute 'echo $PATH' and compare if it contains /usr/bin folder
   IN my case it is - /bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/ and it contains
- you can also log in/log out to reload your PATH variable if you have something defined in .bashrc

@ViswaSrimaan 

Are you using PowerPC architecture?
Would you be able to execute uname -a and send it back here?
