[slurm-users] Slurm SPANK GPU Compute Mode plugin

[Miguel Gila]

Hi Kilian, a question on this: which version of Slurm/Lua are you running this against??

I don’t seem able to generate the RPM on 17.02.9/Lua 5.2 ; it throws similar errors to what I had seen earlier on the original files from Mark Grondo.

RPM build errors:

Does anybody have an idea to get this to build and work? I’ve done some research, but my knowledge of Lua is very basic and the things I’ve tried ([1] and [2]) did not help at all. In fact, I’ve changed the source to look like this:

+    lua_replace (script->L, LUA_GLOBALSINDEX);

     return script;
 }

And, although it initially builds, in the end it dies miserably:

Thanks,
M.
