If I use the h_vmem option I get a slight different error, but if I mark
h_vmem as not requestable => same error. Below is the slight different
error message:

No available pml components were found!

This means that there are no components of this type installed on your
system or all the components reported that they could not be used.

Hmm, I also marked the h_vmem ressource as not requestable, as you
suggested => same error message. Lot of thanks anyway.
