Your analysis is very close to correct. For some reason, the last "Reading ..." remains the last message for quite a while, before any other messages are spit out. The reason for that is not clear (maybe be a slow(er) filesystem for example), but doesn't really matter. The problem is that EasyBuild is assuming the configuration is waiting for an answer to a question, and it doesn't have an answer for a question that matches the current end-of-output, i.e. "Reading ...". Getting around that should be done using no_qa indeed, and the current easyblock for Qt doesn't mention any no_qa pattern for lines starting with "Reading" (see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyblocks/blob/master/easybuild/easyblocks/q/qt.py). Simply adding that should do the trick. If that helps, please issue a PR so we can get this included in the Qt easyblock in EB v1.9.0. Unfortunately, getting an interactive installation 100% reliable remains trail-and-error... regards, Kenneth > > Thanks, > Bart > > == 2013-11-05 09:43:57,837 main.EB_Qt INFO configuring... > == 2013-11-05 09:43:57,837 main.EB_Qt INFO Starting configure step > == 2013-11-05 09:43:57,839 main.EB_Qt INFO Running method configure_step part > of step configure > == 2013-11-05 09:47:31,023 main.filetools ERROR EasyBuild crashed with an > error (at easybuild/tools/filetools.py:640 in run_cmd_qa): run_cmd_qa: cmd > ./configure > --prefix=/home/bver018/.local/easybuild/software/Qt/4.8.5-gmpolf-1.4.8 > -confirm-license -opensource -no-webkit -silent -release -platform > linux-g++-64 : Max nohits 50 reached: end of output > ld/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/helper/helper.pro > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/spectrum.pro > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/3rdparty/fftreal/fftreal.pro > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/app/app.pro > > == 2013-11-05 09:47:31,023 main ERROR EasyBuild crashed with an error (at > easybuild/tools/build_log.py:96 in exception): EasyBuild encountered an > exception (at easybuild/main.py:843 in build_and_install_software): autoBuild > Failed (last 300 chars): pectrum/spectrum.pro > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/3rdparty/fftreal/fftreal.pro > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/app/app.pro > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/main.py", > line 839, in build_and_install_software > regtest_online=options.regtest_online) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/framework/easyblock.py", > line 1759, in run_all_steps > self.run_step(stop_name, step_methods, skippable=skippable) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/framework/easyblock.py", > line 1642, in run_step > m(self) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/framework/easyblock.py", > line 1693, in <lambda> > configure_step_spec = ('configure', 'configuring', [lambda x: > x.configure_step()], True) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild_easyblocks-1.9.0dev-py2.6.egg/easybuild/easyblocks/q/qt.py", > line 64, in configure_step > run_cmd_qa(cmd, qa, no_qa=no_qa, log_all=True, simple=True) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/tools/filetools.py", > line 420, in inner > return func(cmd, *args, **kwargs) > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/tools/filetools.py", > line 640, in run_cmd_qa > stdoutErr[-500:] > File > "/home/bver018/easy/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild/tools/build_log.py", > line 88, in error > raise EasyBuildError(newMsg) > EasyBuildError: 'EasyBuild crashed with an error (at > easybuild/tools/filetools.py:640 in run_cmd_qa): run_cmd_qa: cmd ./configure > --prefix=/home/bver018/.local/easybuild/software/Qt/4.8.5-gmpolf-1.4.8 > -confirm-license -opensource -no-webkit -silent -release -platform > linux-g++-64 : Max nohits 50 reached: end of output > ld/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/helper/helper.pro\n > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/spectrum.pro\n > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/3rdparty/fftreal/fftreal.pro\n > Reading > /home/bver018/.local/easybuild/build/Qt/4.8.5/gmpolf-1.4.8/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5/demos/spectrum/app/app.pro\n' > > > -- > Dr. Bart Verleye > Centre for e-Research > Level G, Room 409-G21 > 24 SYMONDS ST > Auckland 1010 > New Zealand > +64 (0) 9 923 9740 ext 89740
