Hi Fotis, Kenneth, Pablo, Thanks for all your suggestions. I have finally managed to get EasyBuild installed and loaded. It was indeed a problem related to the two module environments that were conflicting.
However, when I try to build the WRF package I get this error: valeriuc@login3:~$ eb WRF-3.5.1-goolf-1.4.10-dmpar.eb -Dr == temporary log file in case of crash /scratch/easybuild-l0Rfu9/easybuild-7kKi7g.log ERROR: EasyBuild crashed with an error (at easybuild/software/EasyBuild/1.15.2/lib/python2.6/site-packages/easybuild_f ramework-1.15.2-py2.6.egg/easybuild/tools/modules.py:541 in run_module): homkat(4):ERROR:154: Version symbol 'default' loops We have a module homkat installed on the system but it is not loaded or used when calling eb. If I try to do: module load homkat, I hit exactly the same error (homkat(4):ERROR:154). Do you have any suggestion for how to tackle this? I am also attaching the complete log file.
