This might happen if for some reason the link /etc/profile.d/modules.sh is missing or some other problem with alternatives. /etc/profile.d/scl-init.sh has: if [ "${MODULEPATH:-}" = "" ]; then MODULEPATH=`sed -n 's/[ #].*$//; /./H; $ { x; s/^\n//; s/\n/:/g; p; }' ${MODULESHOME}/init/.modulespath` fi but there is no /usr/share/Modules/.modulespath file, that should be now legacy. Maybe /etc/profile.d/scl-init.sh should check if that file exist before the sed command, or, maybe better print a warning telling MODULEPATH is not defined. In either case, this is a way to detect problems with alternatives and missing environment-modules initialization. This should be a minimal issue, just that some message should still be printed, but better if not a sed error message about a missing file, like: sed: can't read /usr/share/Modules/init/.modulespath: No such file or directory for every shell login.
