Hi Tim and Kenneth, I had activated recursive-module-unload. I am going to try with out it. Thanks for your help. I get back if the issue persists.

As I am and I've hit this error before. I was working on it in: https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1474 However have been distracted with other tasks. Which means I'm going to try and get back to it today.

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. ;-) Modern Scientific Software Management Using EasyBuild and Lmod<http://hpcugent.github.io/easybuild/files/hust14_paper.pdf> hpcugent.github.io<http://hpcugent.github.io/> Modern Scientific Software Management Using EasyBuild and Lmod Markus Geimer Julich Supercomputing Centre (JSC)¨ Forschungszentrum Julich GmbH¨ 52425 J¨ulich, Germany On 22/01/16 16:00, Joachim Hein wrote: 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.

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. - Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/m4.html I can load the module manually. Any clues? Thanks and best wishes Joachim
