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.

> rpmbuild --define "_sysconfdir /etc/opt" --define "__cc /usr/bin/cc $(pkg-config --cflags slurm)" -ta slurm-spank-lua-0.38.tar.gz

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.p3xXXA (%build)

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.
