Description
Hi,
thanks for building this tutorial, I found an issue in the Extra query parameters section. This does not work for me with the current releases/v0.15 branch.
- There is no netcdf package, so this should probably be netcdf-c
- Installing netcdf-c results in the following error which I cannot figure out:
==> Installing netcdf-c
==> No binary for netcdf-c found: installing from source
==> Error: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'directories'
/shared/spack/lib/spack/spack/build_environment.py:862, in child_process:
859 tb_string = traceback.format_exc()
860
861 # build up some context from the offending package so we can
>> 862 # show that, too.
863 package_context = get_package_context(tb)
864
865 build_log = None

Research direction
Start with the linked Extra query parameters section in the tutorial and compare its example with the releases/v0.15 branch. Reproduce the netcdf-c installation error, determine the correct package name and working syntax, then update the section so the example installs successfully on the documented branch.
