spack-stack installation error on nautilus

[feiliuesmf]

Hi I am sorry I am not sure if there is a place to get some installation related help. I ran into an installation problem and it'd be great to get some help.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/JCSDA/spack-stack
. spack-stack/setup.sh
I would like to build with latest version of esmf (8.7.0b03) whose configuration is similar to 8.5.0

# config and update the projections for lmod/tcl.
# Also, check the acorn and derecho site configs which have esmf modifications.
esmf:

•  version: ['8.5.0']
  

•  version: ['8.7.0b03']
   variants: ~xerces ~pnetcdf snapshot=none ~shared +external-parallelio
   require:
     - any_of: ['fflags="-fp-model precise" cxxflags="-fp-model precise"']
  

I added an entry for 8.7.0b03 in ./spack/var/spack/repos/builtin/packages/esmf/package.py
# generate chksum with spack checksum esmf@x.y.z
version("8.7.0b03", sha256="c8a40590e7d0d0123dfd54d48799a98b7ab4abde")
version("8.5.0", sha256="acd0b2641587007cc3ca318427f47b9cae5bfd2da8d2a16ea778f637107c29c4")

Then I ran the following commands:
spack stack create env --site nautilus --template unified-dev --name espc_nautilus1
spack concretize 2>&1 | tee log.concretize
all ran successful up to this point.
Next, for installation
spack install --verbose --fail-fast 2>&1 | tee log.install

I ran into the following error which is related to wgrib2 package. Any tips on how to get the installation to work? Thanks,

Just to confirm, did you run the commands for Nautilus described in https://spack-stack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/PreConfiguredSites.html#navy-hpcmp-nautilus BEFORE running source setup.sh for spack-stack?

[feiliuesmf]

no, I did not. Restarting...

[feiliuesmf]

Now my build is hanging at this step (I restarted from scratch):
spack concretize 2>&1 | tee log.concretize

[climbfuji]

I am building on Nautilus now. The concretization step finished fairly quickly (1-2mins), install is running.

Thanks Dom, can you send me a list of the exact commands you use on nautilus so I can reproduce what you have? You can email me at fei.liu@gmail.com as well.

btw, it's stuck on python3 process acquiring a lock espc_nautilus2/.spack-env/transaction_lock. It looks like there may be some subtle race condition going on. I am not sure why.
