Install Package Not In Repo

I would like to know how you can install a package not in the repos. The reason is my favorite video game is coming back Unreal Tournament. They have a linux version for the game which is nice. Can someone instruct me on how to get pacman to install the game?

Which wiki, ours or theirs?  Our wiki can't help you with this - the provided zip file has none of the bits needed to be used on a system other than the one it was built on.  Their wiki does not give any information about the system it was built on, nor the requirements for running it on another system.
It also uses relative links to the libraries they provide in a non-standard directory structure - so this could never be "installed", it could only be run from wherever you unpacked it (unless perhaps you could relink it).  You can unpack the zip file in your home directory, then just run the binary.  But you'll likely just end up with the same segfault it gives me.
I'm going to defer to you. Can you give me a description about what is needed? I will bring it to their attention. I have a feeling these guys are primarly windows developers. Can you recommend some good reading to learn more about linux functionality. I have learned alot but, progress is slow. I know there is alot to learn but, I'm a pretty quick study.
The wiki I was talking about was what they provided in the zip file to what arch wiki described. I couln't put it together. It makes sense I couldn't
EDIT: I just posted a link to this post for their review. Don't worry about the description. However, I would like the reading.

  • Already installed package - not by Arch?

    OK, this is and odd one. Many moons and several distros ago, I installed burg to a separate /boot partition, and have continued to use this /boot partition throughout. the original installation distro has long since been eradicated from my system, and I've maintained burg.cfg manually (for those that don't know, burg and grub are much the same, except burg has additional theming).
    Tonight, I decided to save myself some effort and install burg from AUR, reusing my existing config. I use packer for AUR, which has (rather un-helpfully this time) advised me that "package burg....etc is up to date - reinstalling". How does it know? Arch doesn't know anything about my bootloader at all.

    @ cfr
    Not possible. When I installed Arch I did so on to a bare partition, so no burg scripts or configuration files lying around to remove or run. (I formatted the partition thus eradicating the old distro). burg was fully contained within /boot, hence my having configured it directly (burg.cfg) all this time
    @fsckd
    Nothing in the logs other than the most recent installation. Your "haunted" idea may have some mileage, though :-0

  • Can't install Premier Elements 10 on Win 7 32 bit, quad core 2.40ghz, install package not compatible with my processor type

    Hello All, I am trying to install Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro box 32bit running an Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad Core @ 2.40ghz, 2gb ram, I get the following error " This installation package is not supported by this processor type, Contact your product vendor."," What's wrong?

    Interesting, I guess I need to call the Alienware folks and find out why they installed a substandard processor in such an expensive gaming box. I do have several other processors I can swap it out with, do you have a recommendation on a good processor that will get the job done? Learning is never a waste of time, but giving up is. Thanks for your insight,

  • Installed packages newer than repo

    I am running arch with testing enabled. Pacman -Syu indicates that a number of packages appear to be newer than those in the repo. Is this a problem with my installation or with the mirrors? If it is a problem with my installation how do I auto-select ll the packages for update/downgrade?

    it's a out of sync of your mirror problem, see the frontpage news.
    wait until your mirrors are fully synced and retry

  • Installing packages via burned CD

    Hello everyone.
    I have an x86 machine that I've just installed Arch onto. For reasons I won't get into, it's not going to be networked at all (no internet or intranet, therefore no pacman mirrors). I'm wanting to install packages via the CD drive: Ruby, Python, X, BSD games, Tex, etc. The idea is I will download these packages and burn them to CD, then access them via the Arch machine.
    I guess my question is, what is generally the best way to go about this? I think I'd have to get pacman to point to my CD drive to search for new repositories, but I am unaware how this would be accomplished. Google searches do not yield helpful results. I suppose I could just compile them from source, but is there an easier way?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dan

    ooops *lol* - I checked your first link but not the 2nd - guess my fingers were faster (at a multitude) than my brain.
    I use a portable usb-drive for my repo - and it has 'core', 'extra' and 'community' as the top directories - in which case what I wrote above would work. If your  repo is just a collection of packages, obviously it wont ... sorry for not reading properly :-(

  • Installed packages by group

    How can I get a list of installed packages grouped by core, test community etc.
    I want to create a text file of all the packages which are there in my system and use it as a reference for re-installation.
    Also is there is a way to find the minimal list of packages to be installed over the core packages, that would be awesome.
    So in shot the requirement is core install+ minimal list of packages which will pull all the dependency to install all the packages which are in my system.
    thank you

    This might help:
    $ #To list all packages on your system:
    $ pacman -Q
    $ #To list all packages you've explicitly installed that are not required by another package
    $ pacman -Qet
    $ #To list all packages that are not required by another package
    $ pacman -Qt
    To get a list of installed packages grouped by repo would be a bit more work... something like this should work, though it's not too efficient
    #!/bin/bash
    rm /tmp/repo-pkgs.txt /tmp/local-pkgs.txt /tmp/local-pkgs-sorted.txt
    pacman -Ss | grep -v "^ " | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort > /tmp/repo-pkgs.txt
    pacman -Q | cut -f1 -d' ' | sort > /tmp/local-pkgs.txt
    for pkg in $(cat /tmp/local-pkgs.txt); do
    grep ".*/$pkg\$" /tmp/repo-pkgs.txt >> /tmp/local-pkgs-sorted.txt
    done
    cat /tmp/local-pkgs-sorted.txt | sort

  • When installing Arch, the install packages error's and says 'could not

    I am trying to install Arch on virtual box but when I try to run install packages (base+base-devel) it always throws 'installation failed'. When I look for the problem, it says 'could not satisfy depencies.'.
    Prior to this, Arch had problems in downloading few packages from a mirror but it seems to have gotten every package when I tried several different mirrors.
    Screenshot of the problem: http://i.imgur.com/7KWAk.png
    I have checked the mirror status from here http://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ and tried following mirrors:
    ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
    ftp://mirror.archlinux.fi/archlinux/
    ftp://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/archlinux/
    http://mirror.academica.fi/archlinux/

    Check the md5 of the image, and check your vbox settings, so that you have enough hdd and mem, and that the partitions are big enough and then install base(+base-devel if wanted) and don't enable any of the repos other than the local core repo, and this should work, as i've tested the images many times latelly...
    Edit: I see from your screenshot that you're downgrading alot of packages e.g. kernel 3.1.5 to 3.0.3, and that must be because you've first tried installing from the net, and then when something failed, you've gone back and deselected net-install and choosed to install from local core repo, which would do that then, so my advice is simply to start over(reboot), or again remake your blockdevices, so there's insn't allready a bunch of packages with wrong versions installed...

  • Trying to install the latest version of iTunes and when it is being installed I get the message "There is a problem with this installer package. A program quired for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor."

    I am trying to install the latest version of itunes and when the install begins I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be opened. contact your support personnel or product vendor". I ran a troubleshooting diagnostic on my computer and nothing flagged as a problem. I uninstalled iTunes and tried again and now I don't have any way to sync my ipod touch. Please help with any suggestions!!!

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

    Camera Raw will not install on my mac,os 10.7.5. When I click on the install package the main install screen opens and that is as far as I can proceed with the down load. I have to force quit the software and try again. I have deleted and downloaded the software several times to no avail. I need some help.

    Appreciate your help Ian and others.   I have since uninstalled FCS and reinstalled FCXP only to get the same thing. Loading FCXP stalls at "Looking for Compressor Support".  When I first downloaded FCXP from the App store I didn't notice that FCS was being placed in it's own folder.  It's not something I did manually.  Although moved into it's own folder with FCXP on the same drive.  I was not able to open FCS apps. They would load and then "quit unexpectantly".  They opened just fine before I downloaded FCXP.  Do I need to purchase Compressor so that FCXP recognizes it? It seems this is where it stalls. It doesn't explain however why my computer "FREEZES" while doing this.  I am in the process of re-installing Lion to see if this helps, otherwise I am at a complete loss.
