Re: [ESPResSo-users] unable to find tk in configuration

[Florian Weik]

Hi,

the current version of Espresso ships the TCL interface that has more feature than the ancient version 2.1.2j.

Please understand that we can not support such old versions, and it is unlikely that you can easily build

that on a modern system.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi Georg,

I have a class for which we will be doing simulations using Espresso. Version 2.1.2j was recommended since it has more constraint features available than the more recent python versions.

Hello Kyle,

is there a reason you are using the oldest available release of Espresso?

Hello,

I recently tried to install Espresso 2.1.2j on Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. I had to manually give it the path to tcl.h, that is, CPPFLAG=-I/[path to folder containing tcl.h].

It built fine and it runs, but it says that it was unable to detect tk, despite tk.h being in the same folder as tcl.h. It seems that tk is not required for it to run, but I'd like to get it working if possible. Is there another option I need to specify to configure in order to have it find tk.h?

Thanks,

Kyle
