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 $MODULE_BIN to point to the right version
but building Easybuild still does not work. I am pasting the output of
some of the commands below:
valeriuc@login3:~$ modulecmd --version
VERSION=3.2.10
DATE=2012-12-21
EasyBuild will use the 1st modulecmd binary that's in your $PATH, so
this should be OK.
This also explains why EasyBuild doesn't spit out a clear error message...
It doesn't really care about the definition of the module function, as
long as it can find 'modulecmd' in there.
EasyBuild never uses 'module', it uses 'modulecmd' directly.
So, something else must be going wrong...

I am also attaching the log file.
What do you think I should check next?
What does 'module list' print before you initiate the bootstrap?
Can you set 'print_debug = True' in the bootstrap script, rerun the
bootstrap and provide us the full debug log?
Do run the bootstrap with:
python bootstrap_eb.py $HOME/.local/easybuild 2>&1 | tee eb_debug.log
and then send us eb_debug.log.gz please.
regards,
Kenneth
Thank you,
Vali

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:
