I suggest (if you can) that you update to: Modules Release 5.2.0 (2022-11-08) (has the same issue, but has many improvements and corrections). Try using "module switch" instead of module load. Note, you can only load one module with module switch. There are some issues with this. If the module you are loading is not loaded, and is the same base path as another loaded module, module switch will unload that other module. A way around this is to specify the same module for modulefile1 and modulefile2 (rather than leave modulefile1 unspecified). As in: module switch base/dot base/dot However, you should see the previous post about "module load" behavior. Notes: This behavior change from the old 3.2.10 binary version to the TCL source version caused me some headaches when I first switched (some years ago). I changed some of my shell initialization module loads to module source (supported with-out full module paths in 5.2.0), as I needed them to be processed every time the shell initialization script ran (advantage: sourced modules can't be unloaded). For instance, when I want to load a module to define shell aliases (which aren't inherited by the shell).
