I completed the spack installation following the instructions in the README file of dolfinx and have installed version 0.7.2 on a cluster. I want to install the latest dev version. I don’t know much about spack. How to proceed?
My understanding of spack is that it installs only released versions. If you want to install the latest dev version, you may want to follow the instructions for building from source instead.

I saw that the fenics packages offer a main version in spack that follows the respective main branches.
I tried installing the main versions together with the previously installed packages by running
spack add fenics-dolfinx@main+adios2 py-fenics-dolfinx@main cflags="-O3" fflags="-O3"
spack install
but I get an error at the end when trying to install py-fenics-dolfinx. Here is the beginning of the error message:

Might try again from a fresh clean environment.
Spack can install the main version by calling
as shown by ordinary-slim.
Please make sure that you update your local spack installation by calling git pull in your local spack repository prior to concretizing and installing the main version.

Happy birthday!
I tried removing all my spack packages and updating my spack before running the installation command but I am still getting the error of the previous post.
Can you try to use a different gcc version. For example version 11 or 12. I found that this works for me. Firstly you can do
spack compiler find
To find what compiler you have in your system. Once you have that you can add it to using
spack add fenics-dolfinx@main%gcc@11.4.0+adios2 py-fenics-dolfinx@main

Thank you @adeebkor . I was able to build with gcc 11.4.0. I was even able to build multiphenicsx by sourcing the spack-build-env.txt of the py-fenicsx-dolfinx package and building multiphenicsx with the normal command and installing some dependencies it complained about (setuptools, slepc4py, maybe some others).
