Currently we treat the config file as plain python code, and this config's default location is shown in the help as -C CONFIG, --config=CONFIG Path to EasyBuild config file (def /home/jens/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_framework-1.5.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/easybuild_config.py) We want to get away from this format and use the configfile format as used by pythons configparser. This support has already been added to easybuild, and it show's up in the help as --configfiles=CONFIGFILES Parse (additional) configfiles (type comma-separated list; def /home/jens/.easybuild/config.cfg) The configuration as shown on the wiki still uses the old format, whilst you have put this in the file where easybuild expects the new config format. I have tried to clarify this on the wiki. To fix your probem I think it is enought to rename your config from $HOME/.easybuild/config.cfg to $HOME/.easybuild/config.py. Or you could switch to the new (undocumented, except for the messages in eb -H) config format with config sections: In this case your config file should look something like (untested) """ [config] buildpath= /home/kuntzagk/easybuild/build installpath= /home/kuntzagk/easybuild sourcepath= /home/kuntzagk/easybuild/source repository = FileRepository repositorypath = /home/kuntzagk/easybuild/repo logfile_format = /home/kuntzagk/easybuild/log,easybuild-%%(name)s.log """ TL;DR: rename config.cfg to config.py Regards Jens Timmerman
