`configure_polaris_envs.py` fails to find software from conda on a generic mac/linux machine. #213

When attempting to create the polaris dev environment on a generic mac or linux computer (rather than one of the supported machines), this error is thrown:

A software compiler or a spack base was not defined so required software was not installed with spack.

which is a bug because the software should come entirely from conda.

@altheaden, thanks for posting this!
