nxnode-login is part of FreeNX, so you have a mix of both
installed

expect is used in the "wait for a password loop" which is what
the expect language is mostly used for.

This is also (obviously) FreeNX error message, cos it says so . . .

No. You got those errors because you installed nomachine's

         "NX Free Edition for Linux"

and then
ran the FreeNX setup,
which is missing agent, libraries, expect (before you installed it)
because
they are in a different place (on purpose, 'cos Fabian wanted
people to be able to have both installed at once)
