Minor edit to SLURM FAQ

[Adams, Brian M]

Hello all (please advise if this is the wrong list for this),



Could you please make a minor update to this FAQ entry to help with user confusion: https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/faq.html#mpi_symbols? Specifically, Dakota versions older than 5.2 did indeed have a global regcomp symbol (my apologies for that), but it does not exist in 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, or 6.0. Perhaps this rewording would help:



For example DAKOTA<http://dakota.sandia.gov/>, versions 5.1 and older, contains a function named regcomp, which will get used rather than the POSIX regex functions. Rename DAKOTA's function and references from regcomp to something else to make it work properly.



Thanks,
Brian

Brian, the current documentation is at http://slurm.schedmd.com. The
LLNL documentation is years old but remains around for internal
reasons. This particular FAQ is the same though in both places. I'll
see that it is updated to something similar to your suggestion in the
current docs.

Thanks,
Danny

For example DAKOTA <http://dakota.sandia.gov/>, versions 5.1 and
older, contains a function named *regcomp*, which will get used rather
than the POSIX regex functions. Rename DAKOTA's function and
references from regcomp to something else to make it work properly.
