Thanks for the quick reply, Umit!
I didn't see "ready modules" or similar in the binutils eb file. There is a
toolchain `GCCcore-5.4`, which was built prior to binutils and appears to have
succeeded.
More generally, how do I find out which packages I need to compile separately
beforehand? I thought that dependencies would be built automatically? The
command that triggered the binutils error was `eb CP2K-4.1-intel-2016b.eb -r` on
a freshly installed EasyBuild.
Thanks,
Roc
