QA_RPATHS is hard coded on slurm.spec as follows: export QA_RPATHS=0x5 I modified it to allow me, the user, to set other values to QA_RPATHS in order to build the slurm rpms on Centos 7.4: export QA_RPATHS=$((${QA_RPATHS:=0x0000}|0x0005)) It would be great if you could patch your development version. Thanks, Bruno.
