[slurm-users] Configure Slurm 17.11.9 in Ubuntu 18.10 with use of PMI

[Fulcomer, Samuel]

Hi Palle,

You should  probably get the latest stable SLURM version from
www.schedmd.com and use the build/install instructions found there. Note
that you should check for WARNING messages in the config.log produced by
SLURM's configure, as they're the best place to find you've missing
packages that may be useful.

When configuring OpenMPI, you'll want to use "--with-pmi=/usr/local" if you
build SLURM and install it into /usr/local. You'll probably also want
"--enable-mpi-cxx".

Regards,
Sam
