Description

@fbitoo-aneo

The installation of the Slurm scheduler fails on a SOCA controller running Ubuntu 24.04 because a libpmix3 library does not exist.

Here is the line of code executing this command:
https://github.com/awslabs/scale-out-computing-on-aws/blob/39f098d1ec40c762279e3e93e110b529a31d81db/source/soca/cluster_node_bootstrap/templates/linux/scheduler/slurm/install.sh.j2#L31

Below are the error logs:
