hello
it may work or not,  go inside the GUI/PWgui  folder and there type
make init
The link will be updated to the new location, if the tcl libraries are there pwgui should work, otherwise install them with apt
pietro

Subject: [QE-users] Quantum Mobile 24.04.0 has qe-7.4.1 which is a broken version of Quantum Espresso


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
