RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 do not provide pkg-config .pc
files for Tcl/Tk. The OpenSSL 1.1.1 pkg-config file is named openssl11.pc
and not picked up by Python's configure
script.
To build Python with system Tcl/Tk libs and OpenSSL 1.1 package, first install the developer packages and the pkgconfig
package with pkg-config
command.
sudo yum install pkgconfig 'tcl-devel >= 8.5.12' 'tk-devel >= 8.5.12' openssl11-devel
The run configure
with PKG_CONFIG_PATH
environment variable.
