Description cbudzisz 2016-06-30 10:12:25 MDT 
Still valid for 16.05.1 but shown here for 16.05.0

./configure does not honor the --with-mysql_config flag at all. and complains, that you need to install the mysql-devel packages although they are installed.

here are the steps to reproduce;

[root@slurm-master slurm]# which mysql_config
/usr/bin/mysql_config
[root@slurm-master slurm]# mysql_config --version
5.5.44
[root@slurm-master slurm]# tar xaf slurm-16.05.0.tar.bz2 
[root@slurm-master slurm]# cd slurm-16.05.0
[root@slurm-master slurm-16.05.0]# ./configure --with-mysql_config=/usr/bin/mysql_config
[root@slurm-master slurm-16.05.0]# grep -A2 'checking for mysql_config' config.log
configure:23185: checking for mysql_config
configure:23216: result: no
configure:23227: WARNING: *** mysql_config not found. Evidently no MySQL development libs installed on system.


Workaround:
explicitly set HAVEMYSQLCONFIG=/usr/bin/mysql_config in the configure script somwhere prior to the mysql_config check.

Before this ticket can be sent to the support team we need to put a support contract in place for your site. Please let me know if you would like to discuss Slurm support.
