Hi Joachim,
With a hierarchical module naming scheme, you want to add
<prefix>/modules/all/Core to $MODULEPATH (not <prefix>/modules/all).
However, this is only to actually use the modules as a user; EasyBuild
knows that it should use /Core, so it's not clear to me why it is failing...
Can you share a full (debug) log with us?
regards,
Kenneth
PS: http://hpcugent.github.io/easybuild/files/hust14_paper.pdf is a good
read if you're new to this. ;-)

Hi,
I am trying to play with hierarchical modules (e.g. HierarchicalMNS)
and am hitting errors that it can’t find modules which seem to be there.
Example: I am trying to build foss-2015b after installing easybuild
from scratch. At the step when building bison-3.0.4

This module can be loaded directly: module load Core/M4/1.4.17
Help:
GNU M4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro
processor.
It is mostly SVR4 compatible although it has some extensions
(for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
macros).
GNU M4 also has built-in functions for including files, running
shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.

I can load the module manually. Any clues?
Thanks and best wishes
Joachim
