[slurm-users] RHEL8 support - Missing Symbols in SelectType libraries

[Erwin, James]

Hi Tina,

I also recently encountered symbol errors with slurmd on RHEL 8 , and the work-around posted here solved the problem:

https://klmlinks.wordpress.com/2017/11/18/bug-2443-slurmd-does-not-start-when-built-in-hardened-environment/


I simply added this to the slurm.spec file:

%undefine _hardened_build
%global _hardened_cflags “-Wl,-z,lazy”
%global _hardened_ldflags “-Wl,-z,lazy”

Hello,

shame this seems to be the last message in this thread!

I'm currently banging against the same problem on a test system.

Did anyone get that to run? If yes, how exactly did you build the packages?
