Hello Mike et al,

This is a known bug in slurm v18.08*. We installed the initial release a short 
while ago and came across this issue very quickly. We actually use this script 
at the end of the job epilog to report job efficiency to users, and so it is 
real shame that it is now broken! The good new is that I am assured by SchedMD 
that the bug has been fixed in v18.08.3. Having said that we will probably live 
with this issue rather than disrupt users with another upgrade so soon . We 
have found a few other minor bugs in the new version of slurm, however I am 
glad to say that none of them are "life threatening".


If you're keen to have a work around in the meantime then please feel free to 
use our replacement script, "seff_new" -- a copy is attached with this email. 
It's not the most elegant of scripts, however it does work.


Best regards,

David

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

$ /s/slurm/bin/seff 36
perl: error: plugin_load_from_file: 
dlopen(/s/slurm/lib/slurm/accounting_storage_slurmdbd.so):

Subject: [slurm-users] Seff error with Slurm-18.08.1

Hi all

I have updated my slurm from the 17.11.0 version to the 18.08.1. 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? Thanks a lot.
