Hi all, Some of our users were complaining that loading libtiff module breaks OS provided software that links with libtiff.so.5, like this: pdflatex: /g/easybuild/x86_64/CentOS/7/nehalem/software/LibTIFF/4.0.6-foss-2016b/lib/libtiff.so.5: version LIBTIFF_4.0' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libpoppler.so.46) After some digging I discovered that redhat builds their libtiff rpm with --enable-ld-version-script, which adds this version symbol to the shared object. Sure enough, when I added configopts = " --enable-ld-version-script " to libtiff easyconfig, those errors went away and we can happily use rpm provided software with libtiff from easybuild. Therefore I would recommend this to be added to future EB releases (making them the best ever ;))
