Hello Kenneth, Thanks for your quick response.
I actually realised that somehow there are two versions of environment
modules on this system (3.1.6 and 3.2.10).
When calling modulecmd ‹version I had indeed v3.2.10, but when calling
module ‹version I had 3.1.6 because $MODULE_BIN was somehow pointing to
that version. I have now changed $MODULE_BIN to point to the right version
but building Easybuild still does not work. I am pasting the output of
some of the commands below:

I am also attaching the log file.
What do you think I should check next?
Thank you,
