I'm also interested in this issue since I've come across the same error today. We built Slurm-18.08.1 with the contribs packages on Ubuntu Bionic and seff is also complaining with

With the previous version, the 17.11.0 version, the seff tool was working fine but with the 18.08.1 version, when I try to run the seff tool I receive the next error message: # ./seff 5555 perl: error: plugin_load_from_file: dlopen(/usr/local/slurm-18.08.2/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so): /usr/local/slurm-18.08.2/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so: undefined symbol: node_record_count perl: error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for accounting_storage/slurmdbd: Dlopen of plugin file failed perl: error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/slurmdbd perl: error: plugin_load_from_file: dlopen(/usr/local/slurm-18.08.2/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so): /usr/local/slurm-18.08.2/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so: undefined symbol: node_record_count perl: error: Couldn't load specified plugin name for accounting_storage/slurmdbd: Dlopen of plugin file failed perl: error: cannot create accounting_storage context for accounting_storage/slurmdbd Job not found. # Both Slurm installations has been compiled from sources in the same computer but only the seff that was compiled in the 17.11.0 version works fine. To compile the seff tool, from the source Slurm tree: cd contrib make make install I think the problem is in the perlapi. Could it be a bug? Any Idea about how can I fix this problem?
