From the error message, it appears that the various directories of the qe package have been relocated according to some Conda logic, which is why the Makefile iCs not working. But the lines that fail are those using relative path, the line that updates the link to the library uses (maybe by mistake) an absolute path so it should have been executed. Could you give a try and rerun the pwgui command ?
In case it still doesn't work, check the error message to see if it complains because it can't find some libraries: itk or Iwidgets, try to install them: sudo apt update; sudo apt install itk3 iwidgets4 . Retry running pwgui. Pay attention that conda many times hides the paths to libraries; so if it still doesn't work and you have a conda environment active. Deactivate it and rerun the command. I hope that it eventually works greetings Pietro ________________________________ From: Lustig, Steve <s.lus...@northeastern.edu> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2025 19:10 To: Pietro Davide Delugas <pdelu...@sissa.it>; users@lists.quantum-espresso.org <users@lists.quantum-espresso.org> Subject: Re: Quantum Mobile 24.04.0 has qe-7.4.1 which is a broken version of Quantum Espresso Pietro, thank you for your suggestion.

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.
