Hi,
I am new here and facing build issues of the basic easybuild on our
soon to be in production cluster. The basic install of easybuild
2.4.0 fails :( Is it ok to discuss those here or should I move that
elsewhere?
You're in the right place, this is the EasyBuild mailing list after all. :-)
Another suitable location would be the EasyBuild framework repository on
GitHub (https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/issues), but
here is fine too.
If it is ok, here it goes:
The cluster uses centos 7, the kernel is 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64
System gcc is:
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.8.3 20140911 (Red Hat 4.8.3-9) (GCC)
System python is v 2.7.5.
I try to build a sandbox in my own account first before doing a system
install. Reading the documentation
http://easybuild.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Installation.html, I do
export PREFIX=xxx
mkdir $PREFIX
curl -O
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hpcugent/easybuild-framework/develop/easybuild/scripts/bootstrap_eb.py
python bootstrap_eb.py $PREFIX
It fails in stage two of the bootstrap:

Is it obvious to you what is wrong here? Any suggestion on what to
do? Any more details needed?
Can you try two things for me?
* redownload the bootstrap script (it just got a small update) and try again
* rerun the bootstrap with debugging enabled, by defining the
$EASYBUILD_BOOTSTRAP_DEBUG environment variable (the value doesn't
really matter)
Please send me the output of the bootstrap with debugging enabled (in a
file would be nice, it'll be rather long to copy-paste).
It looks like there's something weird in your environment, or you're
hitting a bug in EasyBuild v2.4.0 that we're not aware of yet.
regards,
Kenneth
