itk not found problem with quantum-espresso 7 on centos 7

[paulkeio]

Hi I am trying to install the program quantum espresso (quantum-espresso.org) 7.0 on centos 7.9 (Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 23 16:47:03 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and having problems with itk not being found. While most of the package installs successfully the included gui is failing due ostensibly due to a missing package as can be seen below. Note that itk *is installed* (Installed Packages
itk.x86_64 3.4-9.el7@epel). Running tclsh at the command line and typing "package require itk" returns "can't find package itk". I am not very familiar with tcl so how does one go about installing itk (or other packages for tcl). I have tried installing the tcl packages that seem relevant (see below). Is there another approach I should take to get the gui running?

Code: Select all

yum list installed|grep tcl
itcl.x86_64                             3.4-10.el7                     @epel    
itcl-devel.x86_64                       3.4-10.el7                     @epel    
targetcli.noarch                        2.1.53-1.el7_9                 @updates

tcl-devel.x86_64                        1:8.5.13-8.el7                 @anaconda
tclx.x86_64                             8.4.0-22.el7                   @base    
tclx-devel.x86_64                       8.4.0-22.el7                   @base

Never used this, but there's an itk package in epel:
$ yum whatprovides itk
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
......
itk-3.4-9.el7.x86_64 : Object oriented extensions to Tk
Repo : epel

If you are building things then you most likely need the -devel package of the things that are required. Try yum install itk-devel then try again.

Thank you for the suggestion of installing itk-devel, unfortunately I had already done so. The offending line in the source code (line 15 in init.tcl) is only "package require Iwidgets". Any ideas?
