Trying to build Slurm 14.03.6 with FreeIPMI, using
./configure --with-freeipmi=[PATH-to-FREEIPMI]
The configure log showed that the FreeIPMI test program compiles but
fails to link, with a bunch of missing symbols. After some
head-scratching, I discovered that I had to add "-lfreeipmi -lgcrypt
-lm" in order to get the test program to compile.
I worked around this by patching 2 spots in the configure script. I was
actually going to go after after auxdir/x_ac_freeipmi.m4, but autogen.sh
complained that it couldn't find AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 or AM_PATH_GTK_2_0,
and I ran out of time.
It would help the world's FreeIPMI users if someone would fix this
appropriately (which looks like it may need to have a check for which
version of FreeIPMI is being used).
