xtb-6.6.1-foss-2023a.eb meson setup option error #18865

I'm trying to create easyconfigs for the newest version of xtb on foss2023a. I got error when testing the easyconfigs on my local environment running "eb xtb-6.6.1-foss-2023a.eb --robot"

../xtb-6.6.1/meson.build:19:0: ERROR: Unknown options: "la_backend"

This has not happened in the previous versions of xtb easyconfigs, which have build dependency of Meson 0.6x.0.

I intend to try change the meson version back to previous versions in the xtb easyconfig however currently in the easyconfigs repository there is no meson easyconfigs besides v1.1.1 with toolchain foss v2023a. This means I will also need to create new meson easyconfigs. I will try that.

In addition, I try to adjust the option syntax by checking the documentation of meson, however this leads to more error I don't understand. I wonder if there is xtb developer who can help and clarify the choice of option "la_backend".

Hmm, it's strange that others haven't seen this...

Is the wrong Meson being used somehow? Do you have meson available system-wide? If so, which version?
