I have had another look at this. The full error is
== 2020-12-01 16:22:41,217 build_log.py:169 ERROR EasyBuild crashed with
an error (at
easybuild/software/EasyBuild/4.3.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/easybuild/base/exceptions.py:124
in __init__): cmd "rpm -i --dbpath
/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/OpenBUGS/3.2.3/rpm --relocate
/=/trinity/shared/easybuild/software/OpenBUGS/3.2.3 --nopre --nopost
--nodeps --ignorearch
/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/OpenBUGS/3.2.3/system-system/x86_64/openbugs-3.2.3-1.x86_64.rpm"
exited with exit code 1 and output:
path / in package openbugs-3.2.3-1.x86_64 is not relocatable
The rebuilding of the RPM was successful, but the package is not relocatable:
[build@admin easyconfigs]$ rpm -qpi
/trinity/shared/easybuild/build/OpenBUGS/3.2.3/system-system/x86_64/openbugs-3.2.3-1.x86_64.rpm
| grep -i relocations
Relocations : (not relocatable)
In easybuild/easyblocks/generic/rpm.py there is the following comment:
# replace whathever prefix is set with '/'
but it seems that my version of 'rpm', which is 4.11.3 on CentOS
7.9.2009, doesn't accept '/' as being a valid path which can be replaced
via relocation.
Can anyone comment on my analysis?
Cheers,
Loris
