# pkg-config overrides for RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 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. ```shell 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. ```shell PKG_CONFIG_PATH=Misc/rhel7 ./configure -C ```
