You have to download BLCR from the BLCR website and build and install it before compiling slurm. It's not something provided by slurm, it's an external dependency.

I installed mvapich2 with the options --with-pm=no --with-pmi=slurm --enable ckpt and the checkpoints happened. That unfortunately developed some problems where the instructions to perform checkpoints were not succeeding. So I decided to install slurm 14.03.4-2. I just did a normal ./configure, make, make install I installed BLCR separately. There is a package such as blcr-dev that I need to install separately ? I couldn't find any such package on the SLURM website though.
