Error installing ruby-json from AUR

Hey guys,
I'm getting an error installing the ruby-json AUR package with yaourt. Here's the error https://gist.github.com/EvanPurkhiser/5409110
I checked the directory pkg directory and it has 000 permissions =/ Changing the permissions doesn't seem to fix it as it just resets them back to 000 next time i try to install it
Also, would this be a better to report this in the package comments instead of asking here?

Technically that is not the problem, the problem is that the PKGBUILD was doing bad things in build(), which makepkg will now refuse

  • [Solved] Error installing Flash 64bit from AUR

    I tried installing the 64bit flash from here :http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=21601, using 'yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64 10.0.d20.7-3'
    It will say:
    Downloading 10.0.d20.7-3 PKGBUILD from AUR
    Error: 10.0.d20.7-3 not found in AUR.
    So i tried another method by downloading this tar file from http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs … .so.tar.gz
    Then i untarred the file and on the desktop it shows 'libflashplayer.so'
    So next i went to terminal, tried doing 'cd Desktop', followed by 'pacman -S libflashplayer.so', but it says i need to be root to do that. So i do 'su - ', and then 'cd Desktop', but it says '-bash: cd: Desktop: No such file or directory.'
    How am i suppose to install flash64 bit? Thanks.

    should be just "yaourt -S flashplugin-alpha-64" no version needed
    the error is telling you it cant find 10.0.d20.7-3 which is not a package.  did you get another error with the first part? or did  you see it building the package?
    i like building it by hand, so i usually (in a folder on my /home) i do
    mkdir flashplugin-alpha-64
    cd flashplugin-alpha-64
    yaourt -G flashplugin-alpha-64 (to get pKGBUILD and other files)
    makepkg  (to build)
    then install with yaourt -U [full package filename]
    makes me feel like i'm in control

  • Ruby-audio from AUR fails to build [SOLVED]

    I'm attempting to install ruby-audio from AUR.  Got the PKGBUILD file.  Running makepkg results in a complaint about options for an install directory.   I'm not expert enough at the ruby ecosystem and gem to see any obvious problem.  What is the fix? 
    => makepkg
    ==> Making package: ruby-audio 1.6.1-1 (Mon Jun 16 09:51:10 PDT 2014)
    ==> Checking runtime dependencies...

    ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

    Apparently the error is in the package() routine in PKGBUILD:
    package() {
      cd "$srcdir"
      # _gemdir is defined inside package() because if ruby[gems] is not installed on
      # the system, makepkg will exit with an error when sourcing the PKGBUILD.
      local _gemdir="$(ruby -rubygems -e'puts Gem.default_dir')"
      gem install --ignore-dependencies -i "$pkgdir$_gemdir" -n "$pkgdir/usr/bin" \
        "$_gemname-$pkgver.gem"
    A search here in the Arch forums turned up nothing.

  • Error installing ruby-opengl and GlTail

    heya,
    I'm trying to install GLtail (http://www.fudgie.org/) via a Ruby gem (i.e. gem install gltail).
    However, it seems to be giving me errors when trying to install ruby-opengl, a dependency of gltail.
    Building native extensions. This could take a while...

    Looking in the Rakefile for ruby-opengl, it does depend on mkrf (require 'mkrf/rakehelper'), however, I can't seem to find much  information on how to get it up in Arch Linux. Any suggestions on how to proceed ahead?
    Cheers,
    Victor
    (I do know about the AUR package for gltail, however, it's out of date, and seems a bit silly, since you can install these things much easier using gems).

    heya,
    Well, to answer myself, I just needed to install the mkrf gem (sudo gem install mkrf). Not sure why this wasn't pulled in as a dependency (?) - I don't really have that much knowledge of Ruby or how gems work.
    The next hurdle appears to be that it depends on ftools.
    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gltail-0.1.8/bin/gl_tail:54:in `require': no such file to load -- ftools (LoadError)
            from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gltail-0.1.8/bin/gl_tail:54:in `<top (required)>'
            from /usr/bin/gl_tail:19:in `load'
            from /usr/bin/gl_tail:19:in `<main>'
    I'm not so familiar with Ruby, but from I've read, it seems this was deprecated in favour of fileutils in Ruby 1.9.x, right? And the API for this is different (yes, I did try switching ftools for fileutils in the gl_tail ruby file...lol).
    /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/gltail-0.1.8/bin/gl_tail:66:in `<top (required)>': undefined method `copy' for File:Class (NoMethodError)
            from /usr/bin/gl_tail:19:in `load'
            from /usr/bin/gl_tail:19:in `<main>'
    Is there any way to get gl_tails to work here? Or do I have to downgrade Ruby?
    Cheers,
    Victor

  • Error when building programs from AUR

    I had a problem installing screen-git from the AUR.  I kept getting this error message, ./autogen.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory, when trying to build this package.
    At first I thought it might just be a problem with the screen-git pkgbuild, but I tried to install something else from AUR and got the same message.   I usually install things with Yaourt, so I thought it may be a problem with that.  I tried to manually install something from the AUR and got the same error. It seems to be affecting anything that needs to be built from source, so I'm wondering if it is a problem with my makepkg.conf.
    I couldn't seem to find anything posted in the forums.  Any help will be appreciated.

    I fixed the problem.  It was only affecting packages from a git repository. I checked and for some reason only on one of my computers, git was setup to add dos newline characters.
    With a simple change to my .gitconfig file, changing autocrlf = false, fixed the problem.   Thanks for everyone's help.

  • Trying to install AMSN-SVN from AUR, TLS troubles (Resolved)

    Hi all,
    I just finished attempting to get AMSN-SVN from AUR working correctly. I got it installed and running fine but when I go to sign in, it complains about a missing TLS package, which was expected from what I read in the wiki. However, AMSN for some reason is unable to download the TLS package due to an error with sourceforge. I manually entered the URL in my web browser and the file in question downloaded fine that way. I extracted the archive and in the AMSN preferences I directed it to look for TLS in the folder I extracted the archive too. In theory this should work fine but it did not and no matter where I put the TLS files or point AMSN too it simply won't work.
    I also read about editing one of the TLS files but my file was correct already so it must have been fixed at some point. Anyone have any insight or tips for me? I am ready to pull my hair out. lol. I even tried installing Arch's TLS package but got no love from that either. If I can't get this to work I may have to go back to my Ubuntu install. Nooooo!! I love Arch too much.
    Kevin

    well, I just read the wiki, and it tells you have to download tls manually, but you don't have to...
    amsn also asko for tls (which was already installed) until this modification is done
    I know you said you already tried something similar, but I've done this few days ago, and I can't see why it wouldn't work for you...
    Thanks for the suggestion samlt. I did try that as I too found some posts relaying the same info. My file already had the correct layout so it must have been fixed sometime recently. No biggie, I am using Mercury Messenger at the moment and it seems to be doing pretty much everything I need for now, just found out about it yesterday and there was a package in the AUR so I tried it out and it is working well at the moment.
    Thanks,

  • Error Installing Adobe Air from Story Desktop Application Installer

    This is truly driving me nuts already.
    Every time I try to install the Desktop Application from the Story website, it says I must install Adobe Air. So I click Install, it shows the progress bar to 100%, then errors out with a window. The window header reads "Adobe AIR Installer" and the main section of the window reads "Couldn't write the application to the hard disk. Please verify the hard disk is available and try again." - There is a Retry and Cancel. Retry does it all again with same results.
    No, I had no previous versions of Adobe Air. So I tried installing AIR direct from the Adobe website, and it installs fine. So I go back to the Story webpage and try installing the Desktop Application again and the exact same set of events as described above happens. I uninstalled the AIR install, tried again, same result.
    I had Production Premium CS3 previously, and installed Production Premium CS5 UPGRADE. All the programs in the suite work like a charm!
    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit with 208 Gig free on my C drive, as well as over 500 gig free spread out over two other drives. 8 Gig memory, and two Nvidia Qadro FX 3500 video cards (If that matters at all). Full admin rights to the PC, not limited in any way.
    A quick Google search shows plenty of other people having the same problem,  just no known fixes I've found!
    HELP!!!
    PS- I have a picture of the error message, but the insert picture link is greyed out and won't let me add anything to this post.

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks greenfish for your help I changed my xorg.conf to this:
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
    Screen "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" RightOf "Screen0"
    EndSection
    Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "DontZap" "false"
    Option "AllowMouseOpenFail" "true"
    Option "AutoAddDevices" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
    Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
    Option "DPMS" "true"
    EndSection
    Section "Device"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Driver "fglrx"
    BusID "PCI:1:5:0"
    EndSection
    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
    Device "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
    Monitor "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Viewport 0 0
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    And now I get into X with the catalyst driver and it seems much smoother than with
    the radeonhd driver.
    But now comes the next problem, when I try to launch a 3d application such as tuxkart
    I get this outout:
    [johan@acer ~]$ tuxkart
    Data files will be fetched from: '/usr/share/games/tuxkart'
    X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
    Major opcode of failed request: 137 (GLX)
    Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
    Serial number of failed request: 21
    Current serial number in output stream: 21
    Anyone knows anything about this? glxgears gives me the same results.

  • [SOLVED] How to install custom kernel from AUR?

    I am trying to install the custom kernel for the Acer Aspire One from AUR. What is the correct way to go about doing this? I pacman -U the .pkg.tar.gz I downloaded and it put a new kernel folder in /usr/src. Do I just copy the old .config file and make?

    After installing new kernel with pacman -U you  just need to add a new line to grub menu.lst pointing to it and reboot
    How would you go about doing this in syslinux instead of grub?

    Acrobat opens but I cannot upgrade it which is not good.
    I have read all the related posts I can find here but nothing helps.
    Has anyone come up with an answer?
    If not, what are my options? We spent a lot of money that we couldn't really afford for this software.

    You will need to have a look at the log files.
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/mac.html#troubleshooting
    16.8   Troubleshooting
    16.8.1   Logging
    There are two primary logs: one for the installer application and one for the Updater which is responsible for detecting and downloading updates as well as invoking the installer.
    16.8.1.1   Install log
    Apple’s Installer.app creates an install log that should contain all basic success and failure details. The file is located at /private/var/log/install.log created by Apple’s Installer.app.
    By default, the installer logs only necessary information in installer log. However, it is possible to configure the log to provide debug output for 10.x and later products.
    To set this preference, do the following:
    Go to Users/<user name>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/(version) or create it if it doesn’t exist.
    Open com.adobe.acrobat.InstallerOverrides.plist or create it if it doesn’t exist.
    Create following key-value pair: AcroPatchLogLevel:debug
    debug logging<key>AcroPatchLogLevel</key> <value>debug</value>
    Save and close the file.
    16.8.1.2   Updater log
    The Updater creates a log at Users/<user name>/Library/Logs/Adobe/{application name} Updater.log. By default, it provides non-verbose output. To change the default:
    Go to Users/<user name>/Library/Preferences.
    Open to com.adobe.ARM.plist.
    Note Create the file if it does not exist. The file will not exist unless the Updater has run at least once.
    Create a new key if it does not exist: LogLevel.
    Set LogLevel:
    Brief: -int 0
    Verbose: -int 1
    Save and close the file.
    The log size limit is as follows: If an existing log is bigger than 1 MB, the Updater truncates the log. Old log files are backed up once as Adobe Acrobat/Reader Updater-old.log and overwrites any existing old.log.

  • Installing wine apps from AUR, no install UI shows?

    Hello
    I have been unable to install the netflix-desktop app and pipelight from the aur.
    The thing is that i start the installation process from terminal (yaourt -S pipelight) and when there is supposed to popup a installation wizard gui, i get nothing, just the terminal showing some weird output (the sort of output you see when you start a gui app from the terminal).
    Any ideas on how i can fix the issue?
    Thanks

    there's no graphical wizard that pops up, when you install pipelight (and by extension, wine-silverlight) it does it all in the terminal. building wine-silverlight takes some time, so be patient

    Well, my first thought was "of course it fscking is", but in the spirit of the forum I gave a more diplomatic answer.

  • Problem installing android-sdk from AUR using yaourt

    Hi all,
    I use yaourt to install packages from the AUR but I'm having an issue with android-sdk.
    Whenever I run 'yaourt -S android-sdk' it seems to detect that the 'java-runtime' is not installed.
    However, I do have sun's jre and jdk installed (I was having applet issues with openjdk) and it detects this when it actually starts installing it.
    But it just reinstalls the package and quits without installing the android sdk. If I run yaourt again, the same thing happens.
    Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.

    Is that a show stopper for yaourt?  I use aurbuild and did that install the other night.  It tripped over the java runtime and pitched a warning, but the build worked and it installed. 
    I could download the tar.gz from google but I'd rather keep everything handled by arch package management.
    Even if you hand build the AUR in a directory of your choice, the resultant package is still integrated into your Arch system using the -U option of pacman.  Regadrless of the front end (Yaourt, aurbuild, or roll-your-own), pacman tracks the package as 'Foreign'.  FYI.
