Hmm, we've dealt with the extra "local" issue a while ago, see
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks/issues/2976, and
the fix in
https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks/pull/2988 (which
was included in EasyBuild 4.8.1, released Sept'23)...
Maybe the info in there is helpful to figure out what's going on in your
situation?
regards,
Kenneth

Any hints where I'm going astray?
easybuild@tn002:~$ export EB_TMPDIR=/tmp/$USER/eb_tmp
easybuild@tn002:~$ python3 -m pip install --ignore-installed --prefix
$EB_TMPDIR
So far, so good.
easybuild@tn002:~$ export PATH=$EB_TMPDIR/bin:$PATH
easybuild@tn002:~$ export PYTHONPATH=$(/bin/ls -rtd -1 $EB_TMPDIR/lib*/
python*/site-packages | tail -1):$PYTHONPATH
/bin/ls: cannot access '/tmp/easybuild/eb_tmp/lib*/python*/site-
packages': No such file or directory
It looks like the pip install used a different directory structure than
implied in the instructions. There's an extra "local", and no "site-
packages". Instead "dist-packages" exists. Probably safe to blame Ubuntu
(but I thought easybuild worked on Ubuntu.)
Try #2
easybuild@tn002:~$ rm -rf /tmp/easybuild/
easybuild@tn002:~$ export EB_TMPDIR=/tmp/$USER/eb_tmp
easybuild@tn002:~$ python3 -m install --ignore-installed --prefix

easybuild@tn002:~$ export PATH=$EB_TMPDIR/local/bin:$PATH
easybuild@tn002:~$ export PYTHONPATH=$(/bin/ls -rtd -1 $EB_TMPDIR/local/

Thanks.
