PSA, if you’re looking to do something like this, I highly recommend using @spackpm.bsky.social to manage your build environment. You can build NCEP’s GRIB2, BUFR, and “ip” libraries, along with other dependencies like Proj. Would be much harder without it.

And there’s soooooo much wasted disk space installing every package 9001 times across venvs. One of the things I like about spack is that there is a global install cache and then it just assembles a local view with links.
