Package 'apple-gl' not found when installing gcc via spack

Question

I am trying to install gcc version 12.2.0 (as super user $ sudo su) using SPACK $ spack install [email protected]. Nothing happend but the following error message: ==> Error: Package 'apple-gl' not found

How can I update or obtain this "apple-gl" package?

Btw, I do have opengl installed, but I can not update neither via anaconda nor spack the opengl library up to date

$ apt-cache search opengl

Answer 1

Could this be caused by using multiple versions of Spack and sharing the misc cache directory? I have seen this when updating the Spack version.

You can clear the misc cache by running the command:

spack clean --misc-cache

I've been bitten by the misc cache a few times so I usually add a misc_cache entry to config.yaml and set the path to be version specific.
