yes, the problem was slurmd could not find munge so I added prefix to configure command and now it works.

I didn't think you could even build SLURM without it finding munge, that's what puzzles me :) What version of SLURM is this? How did you built/install it? Have you got munge and munge-devel installed everywhere? Specifically, have you got munge-devel installed wherever you do the actual compilation (if you do do that yourself)?
