Kenneth,
Markus,
I finally tracked down the issues with /lib64 vs /lib.
[Note for others: On SuSE, when installing packages based on GNU
autotools, libraries often end up in <prefix>/lib64 instead of
<prefix>/lib like on other Linux variants. This often causes failures
in the sanity_check step with EasyBuild, which makes you angry at some
point if you had to re-install a package with a re-worked sanity check
the 10th time ;-) ]
It boils down to site-specific defaults as described in the GNU
autotools documentation (e.g. see
http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.69/html_node/Site-Defaults.html#Site-Defaults).
On SuSE, /etc/profile.d/site.sh sets
CONFIG_SITE="/usr/share/site/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
(file attached), which changes libdir to /lib64 on 64-bit systems.
I confirmed the behavior: the next library installed with EasyBuild ended
up in /lib when I unsetted CONFIG_SITE and in /lib64, when I restored it
So as discussed last week, sanity_checks needs a 'library' key, where
one would specify only the name of the library and EasyBuild checks
whether it is in the right lib<whatever> dirctory (of course taking
CONFIG_SITE into account when installing autotools packages !)
