Module avail throws libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib64/libblkid.so.1) error

[himanshisyadav]

When I run module avail I get the following error message:

ERROR: logger: /software/python-anaconda-2022.05-el8-x86_64/lib/libuuid.so.1: no version information available (required by /lib64/libblkid.so.1)

      ("eval" body line 1)
      invoked from within

Output of:

Thanks for your report.

The module installation you use is configured to log each command call with the logger tool. This is done with a siteconfig.tcl configuration file similar to the one described in the log module command.

The logger command seems relying on the libuuid.so.1 library on your system. I assume that the python-anaconda you enable in your environment adds its library directory into LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. As this directory contains a version of libuuid.so.1, logger tries to use this library version but it is not compatible, thus it leads to the error you obtain.

I can reproduce a similar issue on my side:

$ ldd /usr/bin/logger

To solve such issue, logger should be run without being affected by library directories defined in LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

One way to do that is to unset this environment variable prior executing logger:

set ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH $::env(ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
exec logger -t modulecmd "[get-env USER]: $command [join $args]" 
set ::env(ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH) $ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I will update the log module command cookbook recipe to take this situation into account.

Thank you for your solution!

Unfortunately, that didn't work and I don't know how exactly I should proceed from here.

[xdelaruelle]

Could you please provide me the siteconfig.tcl file used on your side.

Could you also provide the output of a module config --dump-state command.

[himanshisyadav]

Sure!

Here are the contents of siteconfig.tcl file:

# SITECONFIG.TCL, site-specific configuration script for Modules
#
# This Tcl script enables to supersede any global variable or procedure
# definition of modulecmd.tcl. See 'Modulecmd startup' section in module(1)

rename ::module ::__module
proc module {command args} {
   exec logger -t modulecmd "[get-env USER]: $command [join $args]"
   return [eval __module "{$command}" $args]
}
rename ::module ::__module
proc module {command args} {
   exec logger -t modulecmd "[get-env USER]: $command [join $args]"
   return [eval __module "{$command}" $args]
}

Output of the module config --dump-state is

Thank you!

Now that I read again the code I proposed, I see that it is totally wrong. Sorry for that. The correct fix code should be:

   if {[info exists ::env(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)]} {
      set ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH $::env(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
      unset ::env(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
   }
   exec logger -t modulecmd "[get-env USER]: $command [join $args]"
   if {[info exists ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH]} {
      set ::env(LD_LIBRARY_PATH) $ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   }

So I suggest you update the siteconfig.tcl file on your side to look like:

# SITECONFIG.TCL, site-specific configuration script for Modules
#
# This Tcl script enables to supersede any global variable or procedure
# definition of modulecmd.tcl. See 'Modulecmd startup' section in module(1)
# manpage for detailed information.

proc module {command args} {

   if {[info exists ORIG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH]} {

   }
   return [eval __module "{$command}" $args]
}
