[slurm-users] Plugins failing on Slurm v22 build Rocky Linux 9

[Ole Holm Nielsen]

Hi Mark,

Did you upgrade to the RockyLinux 9.1 which has just come out?  Why do 
you talk about Fedora 9 (now we have Fedora 37) and CentOS 9 
(non-existent)?

Have you tried building Slurm RPM packages from the tar-ball?  Check out 
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/Niflheim_system/Slurm_installation/#build-slurm-rpms
After installing prerequisites, the command is simply:
$ rpmbuild -ta slurm-$VER.tar.bz2 --with mysql

If this fails, someone would have to submit a bug report against EL9 to 
SchedMD.

Personal opinion: I would not recommend Slurm packages from EPEL.

/Ole
