Hi easybuilders, first, let me thank you for the help I received last summer. I realised I never answered that email. Sorry and thank you. :)
Now to my new question: I ran into a problem installing the intel 2016a bundle with EasyBuild 2.7.0 and I would like to figure out what is going on. To be more precise: icc and ifort install without problems, but impi stops because it can not find a license. We have played around with easybuild installations to find out which configuration works best for us. During this time we also installed intel 2016a with EasyBuild 2.6.0. This intel package works on our system, so our license should be ok. I have now created a new installation account, a new directory tree, installed EasyBuild 2.7.0, and I am trying to reinstall everything in this directory tree. I ran into the problem of icc and ifort being installed without problems, and impi installation giving me the following error: Error during the silent install. ACTIVATION_TYPE=exist_lic specified although no existing license is found on the system. Please use other activation types. When I load the old installation of EasyBuild - that is 2.6.0 - the impi installation completes without problems. I am using the same account for both tries and I didn't specify explicitly the config file, so I expect the easybuild to use the same $HOME/.config/easybuild/config.cfg in both cases. What could be the problem? Let me know if you need more information. All the best, Elena
