Thanks Robert, I've submitted it as https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/1205
And I tried taking "the last option on that page", leading to two other issues: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/1204 and https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues/1203 I hope I'm in the spirit of this game. Anyway, I think that the reason I'm finding all these dependency related issues is that, well, the easybuild bootstrap procedure is somewhat, erhm, "hairy". I have learned the habit of before every attempt at installation/configuration of * deleting/moving the target directory and cleaning out * totally cleaning out my bash environment with exec env -i bash --norc --noprofile export PATH=$(getconf PATH) I find without doing this that it is easy to get confused about order of steps and being clear about dependencies. I expect there is another (better?) recipe for creating a minimal bash environment. Any one got suggestions along these lines? Cheers, Malcolm
