I tried this suggestion and built OpenFOAM and preCICE in a spack environment:
git clone -b develop https://github.com/spack/spack.git
source /gpfs/home/nkumar001/tools/spack/share/spack/setup-env.sh
spack env create foamPrecice
spack env activate -p foamPrecice
spack install openfoam-org@6 > log.install.openfoam6 2>&1
spack install precice ^boost@1.74.0 > log.install.precice 2>&1
Proceeding with building the adapter, I am seeing more undefined symbol errors in the ldd.log file:

Is there something else I can check and try to fix this error?
