module 'posix' not found when module load mpi/mpich-x86_64

[Christoph Junghans]

Hi,

when building some of my mpi packages, I got the following error message:
+ module load mpi/mpich-x86_64
++ /usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/lmod sh load mpi/mpich-x86_64
/usr/bin/lua: /usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/lmod:61: module 'posix' not found:

no file '/usr/lib64/lua/5.3/posix.so'

no file ''
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'require'
/usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/lmod:61: in main chunk

Adding
BuildRequires:  lua-posix
doesn't help.

Any ideas?
Does lmod need a rebuild for lua-5.3?

lua-posix was rebuilt for Lua 5.4 hence it is installed into /usr/share/lua/5.4

lmod searches in /usr/share/lua/5.3

Given the above I assume Lmod needs to be rebuilt and/or switched to use Lua 5.4.

Note that /usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/lmod has:

local sys_lua_path = 
"/usr/share/lua/5.3/?.lua;/usr/share/lua/5.3/?/init.lua;/usr/lib64/lua/5.3/?.lua;/usr/lib64/lua/5.3/?/init.lua"

I don't if that's generated on build time or whether it will require patching.

Lmod needed a little patch to detect Lua 5.4 as a valid version, but it's
fixed and rebuilt in rawhide now (Lmod-8.3.17-2.fc33).

Thanks,
Tom
