Hello there,
today I installed EasyBuild on a Cray XC50, installation went ok.
Then I tried to install CP2K by doing:

> eb  CP2K-6.1-intel-2018a.eb  --modules-tool EnvironmentModulesC
--module-syntax Tcl --robot


and eb started fetching and installing all the pieces.


I understand this is a complex process and I am not trying to understand
everything in a couple of days, but there are things I cannot figure out
and it will make my day to just have an idea of what  is going on.


First thing is related to --modules-tool EnvironmentModulesC
--module-syntax Tcl


I couldn't figure out how to define the corresponding env variables
to avoid the need of using --modules-tool and --module-syntax. Is there a
way to define these var in .bashrc?

My .bashrc has the following lines:


EASYBUILD_PREFIX=$HOME/.local/easybuild

MODULEPATH=$MODULEPATH:$EASYBUILD_PREFIX/modules/all


The second point is about icc/2018.1.163-GCC-6.4.0-2.28, which is in the
dependency list of the CP2K eb file I started with. How is it that eb can
download the sources from intel? Are they really open? I have the feeling
that the process has stopped since it has been trying to fetch the files
for a long time.. Please let me know if I am missing something here. When I
try to access the intel address from the icc.eb file, I get the request for
an email and serial number... which I can't believe eb knows to be able to
pass it on...

Again, I am a bit confused. Any help is welcome.


Thank you very much,


Marcelo Carignano.
