When trying to run rlwrap tclsh I am getting this error message:

rlwrap: Could not open master pty: No such file or directory

What causes this? How to fix this issue?

P.S. I am running 64 bit CentOS.

check /dev/ptmx it should have crw-rw-rw- I once had it crw------- this caused the error message at my system.

see also man ptmx:

The file /dev/ptmx is a character file with major number 5 and minor number 2, usually of mode 0666 and owner.group of root.root. It is used to create a pseudo-terminal master and slave pair.
