Dear Easybuilders,
Indeed it was a problem of the installation of python3.11, since Rocky
Linux,
does not install pip in /usr/lib but in /usr/local/lib which is not exposed
by EasyBuild.
I have succeeded the installation by loading first a Python module (already
installed with EB)
and then add in the lua module the path to the python3 of the module:
setenv("EB_PYTHON", "/software/Python/3.13.1-GCCcore-14.2.0/bin/python3")
It looks it works for "non" python packages...I hope it will work for the
all.
Best regards
quim
