Installation Issue: Failed to isolate installed egg dir for easybuild-framework

[calvinp0]

Hi, I have been attempting to follow method 2 in the installation instructions for EasyBuild but once I attempt to run the following command:

eb --install-latest-eb-release --prefix /usr/local/easybuild

I receive the following error:

== FAILED: Installation ended unsuccessfully (build directory: /usr/local/easybuild/build/EasyBuild/4.8.0/system-system): build failed (first 300 chars): Failed to isolate installed egg dir for easybuild-framework (took 17 secs)
== Results of the build can be found in the log file(s) /tmp/azureuser/easybuild/eb-bl67y98p/easybuild-EasyBuild-4.8.0-20230713.100326.XOgpO.log
ERROR: Build of /tmp/azureuser/easybuild/eb-bl67y98p/tmpg23oqjp8/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs-develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/e/EasyBuild/EasyBuild-4.8.0.eb failed (err: 'build failed (first 300 chars): Failed to isolate installed egg dir for easybuild-framework')

Here are the following variables I have exported for the installation:

$PATH=tmp/azureuser/eb_tmp/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin
$PYTHONPATH=/tmp/azureuser/eb_tmp/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/
$EB_PYTHON=python3

The installation is a clean one, so I am not sure what the issue is nor how to solve it. Any advice would be great! Thanks

@calvinp0 I'm sorry we didn't get back to you on this, but it is being looked at (seems to be related to easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks#2976)

Did you manage to workaround the issue?

Hey @migueldiascosta. No worries on the response! I did have a look around at the submitted issue you mentioned and also on Slack and yes, I did manage a workaround due to the information. Thanks!
