[QE-users] PWgui-7.0 cannot find itk in qe-7.4.1

[Lustig, Steve]

Thank you very much for responding. Tcl-Tk exists for MacOS 15, but there is no incr-tk package that can be installed by either homebrew or macports. I learned that itk gets installed with iwidgets using  macports. Even with itk now installed pwgui cannot find itk.

You have to install (on the OS of your machine) a package called
"incr-tk" or something like that. On most computers it is included in
the tcl/tk package, but apparently not on all
