2023-03-29 Thread Kenneth Hoste

Dear EasyBuilders,

The program of the 8th EasyBuild User Meeting (EUM'23) at Imperial 
College London on 24-26 April 2023 is now complete, see


https://easybuild.io/eum23/#program

Recent additions include a remote presentation on recent developments in 
ReFrame, a site presentation by Imperial College London on how EasyBuild 
has helped them, and a second keynote presentation on Wed 26 April by 
the infamous Martyn Guest.


For practical reasons, the registration closes **this Sunday, 2 April 
2023**, so if you plan to attend EUM'23 (physically or remotely), please 
register ASAP!

In addition, please don't forget to fill out the EasyBuild User Survey, 
which is still open until the end of this week (Fri 31 March 2023)


https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6th_easybuild_user_survey

We're close to 100 participants in the survey, please help us reach that 
goal if you haven't filled out the survey yet!



Finally, we are also organising an EasyBuild + EESSI workshop/tutorial 
in conjunction with EUM'23, on Thu 27 + Fri 28 April 2023, at the same 
venue.

For more information, see

https://easybuild.io/eb-eessi-uk-workshop-2023-04

Unfortunately we can only support physical attendance for this workshop 
(although we'll make an effort to record the entire session).


Attendance to this workshop is free, but registration is required:

Seats are limited, and running out quickly!

Re: [easybuild] libxc-5.2.3-GCC-11.3.0.eb: Download incomplete

2023-03-29 Thread Loris Bennett
Hi Micael,

Thanks for taking a look at this.  I was able to install libxc 5.2.3.

Thanks also to James for the wget-idea.  It didn't help me yesterday, as
the server just returned 404, but in general it is definitely something
worth remembering.

Cheers,

Loris

 Hi Loris,

 I'm being hit by that libxc download problem too!  It's very bad for
 the modules that we're trying to build :-(

 Should EB use this download URL in stead?
