Hi, I am new here and facing build issues of the basic easybuild on our soon to be in production cluster. The basic install of easybuild 2.4.0 fails :( Is it ok to discuss those here or should I move that elsewhere?
If it is ok, here it goes: The cluster uses centos 7, the kernel is 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64 System gcc is: Thread model: posix gcc version 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9) (GCC) System python is v 2.7.5. I try to build a sandbox in my own account first before doing a system install. Reading the documentation http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation.html, I do export PREFIX=xxx mkdir $PREFIX curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/develop/easybuild/scripts/bootstrap_eb.py python bootstrap_eb.py $PREFIX It fails in stage two of the bootstrap: +++ STAGE 2: installing EasyBuild in /home/hein/EasyBuild_Sandbox/easyTest with EasyBuild from stage 1... == temporary log file in case of crash /tmp/eb-IfcSSS/easybuild-U3eVIy.log == processing EasyBuild easyconfig /tmp/tmpoxDaBd/EasyBuild-2.4.0.eb == building and installing EasyBuild/2.4.0... == fetching files... == creating build dir, resetting environment... == unpacking... == patching... == preparing... == configuring... == building... == testing... == installing...

Any suggestion on what to do? Any more details needed? Thanks in advance. Best wishes Joachim
