Thank you both for your replies.
Our OS is CentOS 7.7. We have the dependencies installed and also the
PrologFlags=X11 in the slurm.conf.
Perhaps I am missing some X11 packages? But X11 is working outside SLURM.
When getting interactive access on a node basically I get:
salloc -N1 --x11
salloc: Granted job allocation 4694
salloc: Waiting for resource configuration
salloc: Job allocation 4694 has been revoked.
Also, when compiling SLURM in the config.log I get:
configure:22291: checking whether Slurm internal X11 support is enabled
configure:22306: result:
The result is empty. I read that X11 is build by default so I don't
expect a special flag to be given during compilation time right?
Thanks,
Thekla

I am trying to use X11 forwarding in SLURM with no success.
We are installing SLURM using RPMs that we generate with the command
"rpmbuild -ta slurm*.tar.bz2" as per the documentation.
I am currently working with SLURM version 20.11.7-1.
What I am missing when it comes to build SLURM with X11 enabled?
Which flags and packages are required?
What is your OS? Do you have X11 installed?
Did you install all Slurm prerequisites? For CentOS 7 it is:
yum install rpm-build gcc openssl openssl-devel libssh2-devel
pam-devel numactl numactl-devel hwloc hwloc-devel lua lua-devel
readline-devel rrdtool-devel ncurses-devel gtk2-devel libssh2-devel
libibmad libibumad perl-Switch perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker

I hope this helps.
