Hi Jack,
I didn't set the robot path before, but `eb` did seem to have built at least
some dependencies successfully. Setting the robot path still gave the same error
though. Below is the output of the dry run.
Thank you!
Roc

Howdy Roc,
Do you have a robot path set? e.g.
export EASYBUILD_ROBOT=. # dot/period == current directory.... EB will search
its path as well
As long as you set ROBOT to anything it should find the default
dependencies to build automatically (AFAIK).
The '-D' option to 'eb' is also very helpful.

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

Open up binutils .eb file and look for dependencies and make sure you have
compiled “ready modules” for such dependencies (i.e. GCCcore-5.4)
