Problem installing with spack when ROCBLAS buildable is False

[Rombur]

I am trying to install Kokkos-Kernels 4.4.01 using spack and I want Kokkos-Kernels to use the version of ROCBLAS that's already installed on the machine. In my packages.yml, I have:

packages: 
  hip:
    externals:
      - spec: "[email protected] arch=linux-sles15-zen" 
        prefix: /opt/rocm-6.0.0
    buildable: False
  hsa-rocr-dev:
    externals: 
      - spec: "[email protected] arch=linux-sles15-zen"
        prefix: /opt/rocm-6.0.0
    buildable: False
  llvm-amdgpu:
    externals:
      - spec: "[email protected] arch=linux-sles15-zen"
        prefix: /opt/rocm-6.0.0/llvm
    buildable: False
  rocblas:
    externals:
      - spec: "[email protected] arch=linux-sles15-zen"
        prefix: /opt/rocm-6.0.0
    buildable: False

I use the following command:

spack install --reuse [email protected] +rocblas ^[email protected]+rocm amdgpu_target=gfx90a

I get the error:

     22    -- Found Kokkos version 4.4.1 at /autofs/nccs-svm1_proj/ums018/spack/opt/spack/linux-sles15-zen/gcc-7.5.0/kokkos-4.4.01-63qwbybeixbzvgmnazmfutpeb2rochuv/lib64/cmake/Kokkos

     29      cmake/kokkoskernels_tpls.cmake:383 (FIND_PACKAGE)

I don't know how to set ROCBLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS when using spack. I have tried to export ROCBLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS but spack ignores it. I have also tried to change the path in the packages.yml but I get the same error. Any idea how to fix this issue? I have to use spack to install Kokkos-Kernels.

Yeah, some of the logic around how the roc TPLs are detected in Kokkos Kernels was changed recently to accommodate Trilinos but I suspect it was not tested with spack leading to your problem.
Will have a look and should have someone assigned to this tomorrow at least.
