Howdy Todd, You could try:
preinstallopts = "sudo " # be sure to have a trailing space in the quotes though you might have to add NOPASSWD: to your line in the sudoers file (not sure how EB would deal with the password prompt).

I am trying to build Singularity: http://singularity.lbl.gov/#install This requires that the “make install” step be performed as root (sudo make install). But Easybuild doesn’t (like to) let you build as root, and an attempted hack of just chmod-ing stuff to root:root after the build doesn’t work. What would be the advisable way to proceed? An new ConfigureMake easyblock that has “sudo” in the “make install” step? Todd
