[mpich-discuss] troubles with 3.3.2 and libslurm

[Zhou, Hui]

Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy way not to link with some optional libraries that is available on the building host. Probably at some point we’ll clean up our configure scripts to approach optional libraries more consistently. For now, all I can suggest is to hack it: modify `src/pm/hydra/configure.ac`, search for `have_libslurm`, it should land you somewhere that has `AC_CHECK_HEADERS` and `AC_CHECK_LIB` for slurm, delete both. Re-run `autogen.sh` follow by the usual `configure` and `make`.

Subject: [mpich-discuss] troubles with 3.3.2 and libslurm


Hi,



I have version 3.2 running smoothly. Now I want to upgrade to vers 3.3.2, but I get a problem that the libslurm.so is required by the mpiexec in v3.3.2. This is a pitty since I don't have that on the compute nodes (and I don't use slurm). In vers3.2 this was not a problem.



I use the same compiler suite and the same configure arguments for both versions (except prefix path, of course).

From ldd on the mpiexec from v3.3.2 I get:



    libslurm.so.29 => /usr/lib64/libslurm.so.29 (0x00007fc91ebf8000)



which will eventually lead to runtime errors when running across nodes that don't have it.

As said, vers3.2 doesn't have the slurm lib path burned into the mpiexec (and I don't need it).



How do I get rid of the libslurm in mpiexec? Which combination of configure args should I use? I have tried a tons of different args, but without success.



Please, help.



Regards,

Per
