Hello Vali,
When using the Tcl/C version of environment modules, EasyBuild requires
v3.2.10 (i.e. the latest stable release).
Although EasyBuild may work with slightly older versions, there are
known issues with v3.2.9 that may yield difficult to debug problems when
loading a large set of modules at once (which happens occasionally in an
EasyBuild context).
Version 3.1.6 that you are still using is quite ancient, and thus
unsupported.
I'm quite surprised that you didn't run into a clear error message,
since EasyBuild performs a version check on modulecmd.
What does "modulecmd --version" spit out with the version you're using?
In any case: you'll need to upgrade to v3.2.10 of environment modules,
or look into using Lmod (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmod/, v5.6.3
or more recent is sufficient for EasyBuild v1.15.2).
Installing environment modules v3.2.10 is quite easy, cfr.
http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installing-environment-modules-without-root-permissions.html#installing-env-mod-c.
Likewise for Lmod, although that is a little bit more involved w.r.t.
the Lmod cache, etc.
Do let us know if you have any further questions.
regards,
Kenneth

Hello,
I wanted to try easy build on one of our systems. I tried to install it using
the bootstrap method. However, when I run the script I get:

After I set up _LMFILES_ to the same value as LOADEDMODULES (probably not
correct), EasyBuild installed.
I can do: module load EasyBuild, and eb --help, but when I try to use
EasyBuild to install a module I get:

I mention that I use the Tcl module environment, version 3.1.6.
Could you please give me some hints on what could be wrong?
