You are hitting a difference between Tcl/C env. modules & Lmod;
Xavier (and most others do the former while Lmod is somewhat more picky).
Basically, Lmod forces its way to make you do “module use” in order to ensure
environment consistency (it keeps important state in the unix environment 
variables).

Lmod does indeed not support loading module files 'full path' style...

So the script to set up develop assumes the use of Tcl/C environment modules.

... moving on to  the second issue: I now find that calling eb with no args 
fails:
This could well be a bug;
a better first command try is eb --version or something of that type.
Can you report your findings with an alternative installation on some other 
machine?

I'm not able to reproduce this problem, running 'eb' without arguments is equivalent to 'eb --help' for me.

Malcolm: please open an issue for that problem at https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/new, describing the problem you're running into together with some more details about your setup.


regards,

Kenneth
