The current quantum mobile 24.04.0 appears to contain a standard installation of qe-7.4.1, however qe-7.4.1 is defective. The executable pwgui fails with the error message:

can't find package itk

    while executing
"package require itk”

There appear to be incorrect directory assignments in the installation, one  I found is  “/home/pietro" (this is nowhere in my computer or quantum mobile virtual machine). Tcl-tk is foreign to me, but I see the virtual machine does have itk, but the pwgui and guid scripts cannot find itk for some reason.

I see that the same error message occurs after any fresh install of qe-7.4.1, so I believe there is a configuration error in qe-7.4.1 (that I am unable to solve). I would appreciate any help as I can’t yet contribute to the community.

Sincerely,
Steve
