Mpiexec from MPICH could not find libslurm.so.36

Subject: MPICH/mpiexec error

Hello,
I am trying to run a python software on Ygddrasil. On Linux, this software requires MPICH (>3.0), so I loaded GCC/10.3.0 and then MPICH/3.4.2.
The software crashes almost immediately, and I get the following error :
“mpiexec: error while loading shared libraries: libslurm.so.36: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”.
The same error appears when I type “mpiexec --version”. I looked in /usr/lib64, indeed there is no “libslurm.so.36” but rather a “libslurm.so.38”.
Did I miss something while loading module ? Or is mpiexec pointing to toward an incorrect version of libslurm ?

Thank you in advance,

Greetings,

Maxime Juventin
