Hi All,
In some of my own customized easyblocks, I need to set some group
permissions to control access, I
wrote my own code to do this not aware there is an easyconfig "group"
option.
When I tried the "group" easyconfig option, I got the following error.
== creating build dir, resetting environment...
Traceback (most recent call last):

I guess I need to execute easybuild as root to change the group id for the
running process? Is there an easy way around this?
I would prefer to install easybuild (and use group) as my own uid and not
as root.
Thanks,
Cormac.
