Very likely this is the case; Can you try the same with ./h/hwloc/hwloc-1.5.1-GCC-4.6.3.eb or such, just to confirm it is some dependency related issue? btw. Can you make sure you have no other items in your MODULEPATH? I've seen many times over manually-produced modulefiles to confuse easybuild (and for a reason!).

Over the years I have built a list of common os packages needed for building software commonly desired in scientific computing: http://hpcbios.readthedocs.org/en/latest/HPCBIOS_2012-90.html Use judgement with it, eg. it's not really advantageous to bring OpenMPI or other such items, if you really intend to build them with easybuild. > issue, but the install of GCC is taking far longer than I expected. > Is there a way to specify the number of threads for make to use? That is automatically set to 4 (see easyconfig); use --amemd=parallel=12 to override You are walking the beaten path ;-) here you are, try: * EASYBUILDBUILDPATH=/dev/shm # or alternatively /tmp cheers, Fotis
