installing ReFrame in software layer fails, mixup with ReFrame installation in compat layer #127

Open boegel opened 3 years ago

We added ReFrame to the 2021.06 compat layer (cfr. https://github.com/EESSI/gentoo-overlay/pull/41), and now the installation of ReFrame in the 2021.06 software layer is failing:

It should be looking into /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/2021.06/software/linux/aarch64/software/ReFrame/3.6.2, not in /cvmfs/pilot.eessi-hpc.org/2021.06/compat/....

This probably happens because pkg_resources always looks in the Python installation itself before taking into account $PYTHONPATH.

Problem fixed with the changes in https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs/pull/13844

Rather than also installing ReFrame in the software layer, we should only have it in the compat layer?
