Hi Steve,

I think if you are using the singularity containers with the public repos your best bet is to use jedi-bundle this includes fv3-jedi as well as other packages.

These steps worked for me to be able to build in the latest singularity container:  
#start the singularity shell  
`singularity shell -e jedi-gnu-openmpi-dev_latest.sif`

#make a directory to put the source and build in  
`mkdir jedi`

`cd jedi`

#clone jedi-bundle  
`git clone https://github.com/jcsda/jedi-bundle`

#make build directory  
`mkdir build`

`cd build`

#load spack-stack  
`source /opt/spack-environment/activate.sh`

#set cmake\_root variable  
`export jedi_cmake_ROOT=/opt/view`

#run ecbuild  
`ecbuild ../jedi-bundle`

#build  
`make -j4`

I wonder if these will work for you also?
