Hi All,
Does Easybuild 1.9.0 support lmod with spider cache files enabled?

When I upgraded to easybuild 1.9.0 and enabled lmod, my GCC compiler build
failed with the following error message.

== 2013-12-12 10:43:32,072 main.EB_GCC ERROR EasyBuild crashed with an
error (at
easybuild/1.9.0/gcc/opt/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild/framework/easyblock.py:1547
in sanity_check_step): Sanity check failed: loading fake module failed:
'Changing environment as dictated by module failed: name \'false\' is not
defined (stdout: os.environ[\'MODULEPATH\'] =
\'/tmp/tmpwxQS14/all:/apps/local/modules/modulefiles:/apps/projects/modules/modulefiles:/hpc-common/software/easybuild/inl-easyconfigs/modules/all:/apps/local/modules/modulefiles/Linux:/apps/local/modules/modulefiles/Core\';\nfalse\n,
stderr: \nLmod has detected the following error: Did not find:
GCC/4.7.3\n\nTry: "module spider GCC/4.7.3"\n\n)'

It looks like lmod could not find the generated modulefile GCC/4.7.3, even
though I confirmed it was located in '/tmp/tmpwxQS14/all.
lmod will probably not locate the module without updating the lmod spider
cache (I have a bash script to do this)?

Has anyone using easybuild+lmod come across this problem, how did you fix
it?
I was thinking of modifying the gcc easyblock to source the bash
script(update spider cache) after the modulefile is created?

Thanks,
Cormac.
