They have already been removed for the next major release (version

Hi all,
I would like to revive this old thread, as we've been bitten by this
also when moving from 14.11 to 15.08.

We have verified that we can compile openmpi (1.8.6) against slurm
14.03.7 (with the .la files removed), and then upgrade slurm to
15.08.0
without having to recompile openmpi.
My understanding of linking and libraries is not very thorough,
unfortunately, but according to
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/mingw/2012-January/004421.html
the .la files are only needed in order to link against static
libraries,
and since Slurm doesn't provide any static libraries, I guess it would
be safe for the slurm-devel rpm not to include these files.
I think the link above describes the situation pretty well. Could we
please remove the .la files from the slurm-devel RPM if they don't
serve any specific purpose?
The attached patch to slurm.spec worked for me.
Cheers,
