I think Lmod 6.x doesn't support using a modulerc file. This feature was added in latest Lmod 7.0. See the changelog here https://github.com/TACC/Lmod
Great, thanks for the clarification and suggestions. I didn't realize that Lmod only supports .modulerc from version 7.0.
What Lmod 6.x supports is hidding a module if the version in the module name starts by dot. e.g. a module like "zlib/.1.2.8" would be hidden by Lmod. To list hidden and non-hidden modules you should do "module av --show-hidden"
Yes, but it's a bit cumbersome to maintain such renamings xxx->.xxx. Maybe this is the simplest option at this time, however.
You can generate hidden modules with Easybuild (including the required dot) using the --hide-deps option http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Manipulating_dependencies.html?highlight=hidden#installing-dependencies-as-hidden-modules-using-hide-deps <http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Manipulating_dependencies.html?highlight=hidden#installing-dependencies-as-hidden-modules-using-hide-deps> You can also use the --hidden option (see build parameters) http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version-specific/easyconfig_parameters.html?highlight=hidden <http://easybuild.readthedocs.io/en/latest/version-specific/easyconfig_parameters.html?highlight=hidden> If you are using Lmod 6.x and you want to hide modules you will have to regenerate the module files to add the required dot. For this the --module-only option in easybuild can be useful. If you upgrade to Lmod 7.x you can use the modulerc file and avoid renaming module names.
IMHO, the --hidden option ought to be the EB default for all "system" modules which are irrelevant to end users.
