We used the modules distributed with oscar 4.2 to "modulise" a bunch of applications we have which are entirely external to OSCAR. I did it this way : 1) make a directory under /opt/modules called "modulefiles 2) make a directory for each package you want modules to know about 3) write a module file for each version of the package in the subdirectory
There is a step missing - I can't remember where the path to modulefiles was set, but I seem to remember that I found out at the modules documentation page at sourceforge...
