Dear Yasha,

yes, the claim of bundling all dependencies is invalid, there are
exceptions for the C library and the C++ standard library. These are so
important you cannot update them on your Scientific Linux machine
without breaking it.

I think you cannot install this software on SL7, it is simply too old. A
container solution like Singularity would have problems as well, as
there is a certain kernel dependence. I can report from my own
experience, that a container based on Ubuntu 20.04 and Qt5 will still
not run on SL7.

The only way to run it would be a real virtual machine.

Regards,
Götz Waschk
