[slurm-users] [EXTERNAL] seff in slurm-23.02

[Mike Robbert]

How did you install seff? I don’t know exactly where this happens, but it looks like line 11 in the source file for seff is supposed to get transformed to include an actual path. I am running on CentOS and install Slurm by building the RPMs using the included spec files and here is a diff of the file in the source tree and the file that got installed to /usr/bin/seff 

$ diff contribs/seff/seff /usr/bin/seff 
11c11 
< use lib "${FindBin::Bin}/../lib/perl"; 
--- 
> use lib qw(/usr/lib64/perl5);

Hello,

seff is not working anymore:

I wonder whether this is an installation error and contrib/seff is working
for other 23.02 users.

Thanks
