Kenneth, by accident, I found the cause for the failure
In my home directory I had created a symbolic link easyblocks β /opt/local/easybuild-2.1/software/Core/EasyBuild/2.1.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild_easyblocks-2.1.0-py2.7.egg/easybuild/easyblocks/ to be able to quicker access the code. Of course, I was running the bootstrap script from my home directory π All fine now.

I've just retried myself, I can't reproduce this problem; bootstrap is working fine for me (just like it did when I tested this after the release). Can you provide debug output by defining $EASYBUILD_BOOTSTRAP_DEBUG to something, e.g. "export EASYBUILD_BOOTSTRAP_DEBUG=1" ? Maybe also share what you have in $HOME/.local/lib/python2.*/site-packages, if anything. regards, Kenneth ********************************************************************************************************************** Any idea what is wrong? Bernd From: Kenneth Hoste<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: βMondayβ, β18β βMayβ, β2015 β19β:β20 To: EasyBuild<mailto:[email protected]> Hello EasyBuilders, I'm happy to announce the release of EasyBuild v2.1.1, which is the best release so far, no doubt about it. (*) This is a bugfix release, mainly motivated by some issues with the --module-only command line option that was introduced in EasyBuild v2.1.0: modules generated via --module-only in combination with --force were missing 'module load' statements for dependencies, and several easyblocks turned out to be incompatible with --module-only. These problems have been resolved, and the unit tests were enhanced to try and make sure easyblocks remain compatible with --module-only. Other changes include support for supplying regular expression patterns to --search (and only considering the easyconfig filename, rather than the entire path, see [2]), support for builing and installing GROMACS v5.x, adding several new toolchain versions (ictce/7.3.5 and Cray*), and support for installing 3 new software packages. A detailed overview of all changes is available in the EasyBuild release notes [3]. To upgrade to EasyBuild v2.1.1, there are several options: (i) (re)bootstrap EasyBuild to obtain an EasyBuild/2.1.1 module to load [4] (ii) install EasyBuild v2.1.1 with a previous version of EasyBuild, using the easyconfig file available in [5] note: make sure you're using https PyPI source URLs in case you're using an easyconfig file obtained via some other way, cfr. [6] (iii) install EasyBuild v2.1.1 from PyPI, using one of the standard Python installation tools (easy_install, pip, ...) [7] (iv) updating your Git working copies of the different EasyBuild repositories Enjoy! regards, Kenneth EasyBuild release manager [1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/easybuild [2] https://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Using_the_EasyBuild_command_line.html#searching-for-easyconfigs [3] https://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Release_notes.html [4] https://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation.html#bootstrapping-easybuild [5] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/1615 [6] https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1286 [7] https://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation_Alternative.html#standard-installation-of-latest-release (*): I'm aware I stated the same about EasyBuild v2.1.0, but this was a valid statement at the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH 52425 Juelich Sitz der Gesellschaft: Juelich Eingetragen im Handelsregister des Amtsgerichts Dueren Nr.
