[SOLVED] cannot install from AUR

as I was updating a kernel from AUR, I lost power during the build and now aurget, packer, and yaourt doesn't seem to work...
these are the errors with an example of each:
$ aurget -S calf-git

$ yaourt -S traverso

only yaourt gave the curl error... I think that curl was updated around that time... any idea?

web browsing is fine.. pacman works so don't know what else I can do..
when I ping AUR, I get:

    I followed instructions from this link.
    $ cd ~***/Downloads/_Applications_From_AUR
    $ tar -xvf namebench.tar.gz
    After that
    $ cd namebench
    $ nano PKGBUILD
    When I read PKGBUILD there were dendencies tha I installed correctly. python2-graphy was installed from AUR too.
    $ makepkg -s
    # pacman -U namebench-1.3.1-7-any.pkg.tar.xz
    I had no errors at all.

  • Is installing from AUR similar to install from source?

    I wonder if installing applications from AUR is similar to installing from source? Recently I have a problem where Eclipse SWT embeded browser is broken and 1 solution is installing firefox from source. So I wonder if installing from AUR is similar as installing from source?
    StackOverflow question about broken SWT Browser

    You may also be interested in ABS.  ABS is the official build system for Arch.  Things supported by Developers go into Core and Extra, things supported by trusted users go into community.  To get the packages for the extra (which is where firefox lives), install and run (as root) abs.  Then the build stuff for firefox will live at /var/abs/extra/firefox
    ewaller@odin:/var/abs/extra/firefox 1021 %ls
    firefox.desktop firefox.install firefox-install-dir.patch libvpx.patch mozconfig PKGBUILD vendor.js
    Looking at the PKGBUILD, that package does compile from source.  Copy the directory to a user directory, enter that directory, and you can build your own copy with makepkg.  You can then install the package with pacman -U
    If you need to change something, change the files in your local copy.
    This is not that tough, but it is most definitively not a project for a beginner.  The documentation you need is out there, you will need to do your research.

  • [SOLVED] How to install from AUR?

    Ok, I know I'm posting too many questions too fast but I'm at the last step in configuring my videocard driver to install X and I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere, sorry for too much posting.
    I need to install a package from AUR but even I read the guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines) I can't make it clear enough on how to do it so please correct me if there's anything wrong.
    a. first of all, I need to download and install wget because I'm at CLI ready to configure X but I need the latest test drivers that fully support my videocard.
    b. mkdir ~/myuser/build && cd ~/myuser/build
    c. I need to download from here (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34773) the Tarball, PKGBUILD and all the files listed in "Files", right?
    d. Once I have files downloaded all I need to do is follow the instructions in the wiki, 
       1.  Acquire a PKGBUILD  and any other required files (e.g. patches)
       2. Run makepkg in the directory where the files are saved
       3. Install the resulting package with pacman
    Thanks for any advice!

    guys,
    did you ever saw that Heineken TV Ad where a woman shows her dresser-room to her fellow friends and they start screaming like (women does) crazy, and while they still screaming a lot they start to hear a somewhat identical scream from other part of the house that in fact shows up as the boyfriend/husband of the first lady showing his buddys his special fridge-room filled with green bottles?
    Well, that was my *exact* impression yesterday after having KDE4 up and running with composite turned on faster than any Fluxbox system on a iCore 7, and that's the top part of the iceberg.
    I think the best thing I like about Arch it's it's simplicity - besides it's speed. Okay, it may seem somewhat obscure to profane because editing configuration files is something strange to profanes, but if you have a little knowledge of GNU/Linux like myself once completed the Beginner's Guide, looking at /var/log/pacman.log and start tweaking you found yourself with a very powerfull yet easy to use, easy and fast to learn system. Arch is incredible, that's why it's gaining so much popularity, and it's community is superb.
    I'm doing my first steps around it and find Yaourt a very cool tool, I love all the info it shows about installed and AUR packages and the way it colorize, very pragmatic-oriented (as Arch is).
    On the other hand Packer is a swift tool to replace pacman.
    Thank you guys for your kindness and time spent on this n00b, best!

  • [solved] cannot boot from dd usb and cannot install 64 with unetbootin

    hi,
    been trying to install arch for almost 24 hours now. i just cannot manage to setup USBs to boot from.
    first i was using unetbootin, but when the device not found error came up i tried using the methods recommended in the wiki. however, my hp elitebook 2540p cannot boot from the usb created using dd or imagewriter. so i went back to unetbootin and figured out the error was that the syslinux.cfg file needed to have ../../ replaced by archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=KINGSTON. now however, i cannot seem to figure out how to install a 64 bit system. when i run pacstrap all packages have i686 at the end, which i assume means its the 32 bit one.
    help
    EDIT: ok i have now used 3 different USB sticks and run
    sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
    on them. plugging them into the 2540p the laptop just wont boot. it wont get past the first hp screen, where i normally press esc to enter the menu so i can choose boot options. the usb just blinks and nothing happens. this same problem happens with imagewriter in windows.

    i wrote exactly
    sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
    as mentioned in the edit above, the computer wont get past the hp screen where one gets the option to press the esc key... the usb just blinks and nothing happens...
    EDIT:
    no the usb was not mounted...
    the image was checked with both sha1sum and md5sum...
    EDIT2:
    ok so i think i am in... i reformatted the usb with fat filesystem, and then went through the second instructions from the wiki, ie installing "Without overwriting the USB stick"... But i am still wondering why i couldnt just do the normal dd method. Is it that the hp bios cannot read certain filesystems?

  • [SOLVED] Cannot install 'renpy'

    Hallo.
    I want to install renpy. So, I downloaded 'renpy-aio' from aur. 'pyhton-renpy' and 'renpy' are outdated.
    I successfully compiled them with makepkg and now I have two .pkg.tar.gz files. But when I try to install them with pacman, I receive the following error:

    Well, I finally installed it. I first installed your suggestion and then I installed python-renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz.
    Pacman removed the outdated python-renpy [6.17.xxx version] and everything is ok.
    After some tests to understand what was wrong, all I needed to install from the builded Aur package was:
    python-renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    renpy-aio-6.18.3-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
    and NOT renpy-allinone-6.18.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz because there was an conflict with 'renpy' package.
    Problem solved. Thank you...

    Any help is appreciated. I really love that menu!

    I ran yaourt as root to install gnome-main-menu-svn, and it got past that part. Looks like that was a problem with permissions that also needs to be fixed.
    Now its telling me that I don't have a high enough version of libnm-glib, it is asking for >= 0.7.0, and I have 0.6.6. I checked the the repos and there does not seem to be a 0.7.0 version or higher available. A suggestion on the gnome-main-menu-svn package page makes a suggestion, but Im not sure how to go about it
    current revision (451) doesn't work with networkmanager 0.6.6 from extra. Revision 401 from http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gnome-main-men … nome-2-22/ works for now.
    So I either need to get revision 401 from the svn instead, or get networkmanager and its libs at version 0.7.0
    How could I go about doing any of these things. I am not familiar with SVN, so go easy on me.
    EDIT:
    I found a package called networkmanager-beta which seems to be version 0.7.0. Trying to install that with yaourt is unsuccessful as well.

    Also had to do yaourt as root to get that far. Why is it that when you use yaourt as root, it advises you to switch to a normal user, and then the packages will not install correctly unless you do?
    So far I have been very turned off by the AUR

    I should also mention that I currently have a partition of my memory mounted onto /tmp.  This is the corresponding line from my fstab:
    none /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1024M 0 1
    I should have the permissions for my /tmp mount set up correctly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    No, I dont think so.
    Just for the record, the archstuff repo has the compiled libzen package:

    Thank God, everything is fixed now:
    First, I deleted all these files, then i follows the following procedure
    1. For libgexiv2 file i upgraded 'xorg-server, xorg-xinit, xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils' from pacman
    # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-utils xorg-server-utils
    2. For libraw file i upgraded 'libraw' from pacman
    # pacman -S libraw
    There will be some conflicting files
    After deleting some conflicting files it solves the problem and restore all the 'lib' file.

  • [Solved]Cannot install mutt-sidebar as trashfolder is not downloadable

    Hi,
    I am new to Arch-Linux. I am trying to install mutt-sidebar from AUR.
    I downloaded the PKGBUILD and untarred the tarball. At the time of running makepkg -s the script tries to download trashfolder-1.5.22.diff0.gz... but it fails.
    I tried to download the patch directly from the url given but it seems that the site is no longer available!?
    Any comment would be appreciated.

    Thank you again. I eventually solved my problem changing the download protocol in PKGBUILD to http.

  • [solved] cannot install pacstrap /mnt base to UEFI without internet

    Hello everybody.
    Today I decided to install ArchLinux because of some problems on my Linux Mint System.
    On my laptop Lenovo yoga 13  while using Mint I installed Wi-Fi drivers after installation. It is not working out of the box.
    There is no Ethernet port on this laptop.
    In Begginer's Guide I have read that internet may be set up later. Ok, I skipped it and do next steps as in manual.
    When I go to step of installing base system the following happens
    # pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
    Error strings are running: could not get file ... from ... Could not resolve host ...
    And at the end:
    Cannot synchronize any database
    Cannot start request (error in boot library)
    Error ==> Failed to install pakages to new root
    I stopped here. Why it tries to connect to internet?
    P.S. I am installing from fresh iso from 2014.05.01 via LiveUSB.
    Please tell me what should I do?
    [Sorry if my English is bad ]

    Sorry, forget to write. I have tested to execute pacman with -U option too. Here is its output:

    :: Start installing? [Y/n] _
    What packages does it mean: dependent pkgs or pkgs that will be downloaded?
    Again, I cannot download anything, so I need to install theese packages the same way as I try to install this one for wifi?
    And for installing theese pkgs, perhaps, I will need to install packages, dependent on theese? Oh... Recursion.
    What should I do?

  • Pidgin Nateon plugin won't install from Aur / or manually svn Error

    This is for a korean messenger plugin..
    From
    http://dev.haz3.com/viewforum.php?f=16
    I try the svn command:
    svn co http://dev.haz3.com/svn/nateon/trunk
    and I get:
    svn: OPTIONS of 'http://dev.haz3.com/svn/nateon/trunk': 200 OK (http://dev.haz3.com)
    I tried building from from AUR as well, and the PKGBUILD file tried to do the same thing:
    svn co http://dev.haz3.com/svn/nateon/trunk
    So not sure what to do.. I found a source tar from launchpad and built it but it's not working in pidgin... so not sure how to fix this :S
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks
    EDIT: I fixed it!
    For some reason when I make and make install, it put things in /usr/local/lib,, when it needs to be in /usr/lib/

    which is why is always best to use makepkg/pacman to install anything. You never know where things are at/go to.
    If you MUST make && make install  try to use ./configure --prefix=/usr .  Many pkg use /usr/local/ as default (as you see)
