Hmm, test on jsc-zen2 failed with Check for banned/required shared libraries failed, have to check what's going on there... Any ideas @SebastianAchilles ?

[sassy-crick]

Unfortunately I lost all my access to any build machines, and the ones I have at home are too old. So I cannot assist here much I am afraid. 😕

It works on my account on jsc-zen2. I have to check tomorrow what is different on @boegelbot's account.

@sassy-crick what about the following easyconfigs?
PLUMED-2.7.2-intel-2021a.eb
PLUMED-2.7.3-foss-2021b.eb

Should xxd be added to that those too?

[sassy-crick]

@smoors You are right of course! I have added them to the files you mentioned and some others I found reasonable to add. I should have covered the recent versions now. Let me know if I missed out something. Thanks for your help!
