For those of you who are currently using "module source" in a modulefile. Be aware of this when updating modules to a newer version: 1. The modulefile man page suggests you use the TCL source command instead (which also needs the full path, but of course a true module file with help and info sections probably can't be sourced this way - without being modified first). 2. In the modulefile man page, it also points out "module source" cannot be used in a modulefile. Which is a new restriction starting (I think) with version 5.0.0; it was not a restriction in 4.8.0. You can easily allow module source by modifying the installed module.tcl file; but, if you really need that feature, you should make your need known on this list - as unloading modules with module source in them, may cause odd side-effects (and maybe some protections can be added). In my case, I only use module source in module files that are themselves loaded with module source. -- -------------------------------------------------------- The views and opinions expressed above are strictly those of the author(s).
