OK, it seems the enlightenment arrives to me approximately near midnight! :-) There is an elegant workaround which should get things going for a while, until we understand what is the bigger picture in this family of issues. One potential solution which does the job for us for now is, an easyconfig which implements the dependency 4.2.9 -> 4.2.9-ubuntu10.04; Samewise, for RHEL. ie. will can provide 2 easyconfigs that produce the *same* module name target, which in turn is used as the dependency (same trick can be done for customizing the openmpi stack in a particular HPC site and address many other things). Once you provide CUDA/4.2.9, then it's easybuild business as usual. Would you like hosting in the easyconfigs tree such firework solutions? tia, Fotis
