Hi,
I very often have problems with the lmod cache, as if it suddenly stop updating
and new modules are no longer listed. In the end, I have been setting
LMOD_IGNORE_CACHE=1 in the .bashrc
This is a bit off-topic for the EasyBuild mailing list, but: how do you
have this set up exactly? Do you have a cron job responsible for
updating the Lmod cache?
That has been working great for us, I honestly can't remember the last
time we have problems with our setup.
Maybe our run_lmod_cache.py script can be helpful to you?
It's available from https://github.com/hpcugent/Lmod-UGent .
It gives a one second delay or so when running modules avail, but rather that
than getting incorrect results.
1 second is definitely acceptable, but almost instant answers from
'module avail' is easy to get used to as well. ;-)
regards,
Kenneth

Hi Loris,
Probably your lmod cache is just out of date. Have you tried to actually load
the module?
Try
module --ignore_cache avail

Hi,
This maybe more of an Lmod problem. I have built two toolchains:
[loris@admin ~]$ ll ~/shared/modules/toolchain/foss/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 loris loris 53 Nov 15 11:44 2018a.lua ->
/home/loris/shared/modules/all/foss/2018a.lua
lrwxrwxrwx 1 loris loris 53 Nov 19 12:40 2018b.lua ->
/home/loris/shared/modules/all/foss/2018b.lua
but Lmod only shows one:
[loris@admin ~]$ module av foss/
--------------------- /home/loris/shared/modules/all ---------------------
foss/2018a
Use "module spider" to find all possible modules.
Use "module keyword key1 key2 ..." to search for all possible modules
matching
any of the "keys".
The foss-2018b has been installed as dependency for
R-3.5.1-foss-2018b.eb, but the installation of R itself is failing due
to a checksum problem. Is there some EasyBuild mechanism which prevents
the dependencies from being displayed if the installation of the
top-level packages has not been completed?
Cheers,
Loris
