Description
Hi all
I have been trying to get AMS going on my local compute here to take a look at it. After some bumps and scrapes I have managed to cajole the spack installer ('+examples') across the finish line and have a copy of the .so library file for AMS. I am now trying to run the example.
As far as I can see though, the spack install script does not actually _install_ the example code anywhere. From the spack build logs, 'spack-build-out.txt', it looks like the example binary is being built, but doesn't appear to be installed anywhere -- it just ends up being deleted at the end of the install process.
Is there something extra I need to do to get the installer to put it somewhere? Is there something missing from the spack recipe?
Any help much appreciated.

Research direction
Start with the Spack installer and the spack-build-out.txt log mentioned in the report. Trace where the example binary is built and whether the install phase places it in an intended location; done means the '+examples' installation leaves the example code or binary available to run.
