Hi Loris, It seems that “pip check” fails in your default (system) Python environment.
Can you confirm that you see the same problem when you run “python3 -m pip check” manually? As an escape mechanism, you can use “eb --skip-sanity-check”, but you should tread carefully when using that option. In this specific case it may be OK since EasyBuild doesn’t have any requirements except for the easybuild-* Python packages themselves, so you could say that the “pip check” is not that useful when installing EasyBuild. regards, Kenneth > On 27 May 2025, at 10:24, Loris Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ciao Roberto, > > Roberto Scipioni <[email protected]> writes: > >> Hi, >> >> If I am not mistaken you are using eb 5 with Python 3.6 ?
