Hi Kenneth,
Is this a recent version of the bootstrap script? What's the MD5sum?
Can you try re-downloading it (although that won't change anything if it
was downloading in the last couple of days).
Just to be sure, I re-downloaded using the curl command given in the
documentation:
curl -O
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/develop/easybuild/scripts/bootstrap_eb.py
If the problem persists, please provide a full (debug) log of the whole
bootstrap procedure, which you can obtain with:
EASYBUILD_BOOTSTRAP_DEBUG=1 python bootstrap_eb.py
$EASYBUILD_PREFIX 2>&1 | tee eb.log
Please upload it somewhere, or mailed a zipped version to me off-list.
The problem indeed persists, and I put the debug log here:
https://gist.github.com/andreas-h/267a2ea4512c4691ab9ba6048d9c825a
Would you prefer me opening an issue for this? If so, against which
repository (easybuild or easybuild-framework)?
Discussing it here is fine, no need to fork this off somewhere else...
You've hit a genuine bug in the bootstrap script, I'm not sure how it
slipped through during testing on a system that doesn't have setuptools
available...
I was able to reproduce the issue easily, and came up with a (fairly
trivial) fix, see https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/pull/1727.
Can you please see if this patched version of the bootstrap script fixes
your problem?
You can download it with directly from my branch that matches the PR
with (but only as long as the PR is open; once the PR is merged in the
central 'develop' branch, the curl mentioned in the documentation should
be used):
curl -O
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boegel/easybuild-framework/fix_bootstrap_setuptools_stage1/easybuild/scripts/bootstrap_eb.py
