It's not, it's a gzip archive.

Comment out the 'source' line in the PKGBUILD.
Is this all safe? I've never encountered this before.

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.
EDIT: How can I figure out whether I installed it correctly or not?

Update packages installed from AUR

Is there some way to automatically check for newer packages that were installed from aur and install them.
I want achieve behaviour similiar to pacman -Syu.

Yes, exactly. As well, there are countless threads on the subject. This has been covered to death.

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.

Amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors

amarok 1.4.10 from AUR plays flac files with errors and i mean that it plays flac files but with strange behavior and of course the result is awful is there any chance to fix that problem. i have compile it with xine engine, can i use a different engine in PKGBUILD and how. i should write that i don't known much from configure a PKGBUILD by my own. with exaile and totem i have no problem i also play flacs with 24bit and 96khz audio quality. tnks for your time

Why not amarok 2.3 from extra?
Found this but its for 2.3: forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=85428
looks like amarok just uses xine, which I don't know much about...
the 2.3 version depends on kde4, so you can run kde4 system settings and switch the multimedia backend between xine, mplayer, and gstreamer (need the aur packages first). I know mplayer should use ffmpeg to playback though.
Edit: looks like exaile and totem use gstreamer for playback

[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!

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.

Error: Makepkg was unable to build networkmanager-beta package.
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

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)

Problem installing from AUR (extcalc)

I am trying to install extcalc from the AUR. And got an error:
[ 98%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/extcalc.dir/src/moc_screenshotdialog.o
[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/extcalc.dir/qrc_icons.o

What has happened and how do I fix it?

I edited the PKGBUILD like:

pkgrel=2

cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz || return 1
#cmake -CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/usr". || return 1

it fails with

I think I didn't edit it correctly?

Question about programs installed from AUR by pkgbuild vs. repo

Hi,
Do programs that get installed from the AUR through pkgbuild's get updated on a pacman -Syu also?
Thanks.
EDIT: i.e. unsupported software like gnome global-menu
Last edited by playdafunkimuzic (2009-04-10 14:53:07)

and you don't /just/ use the PKGBUILD in AUR. You use all the files in the tarball. i.e: download *.tar.gz and then extract it.

Player (Robotic server) does not install from AUR

The player robotic server available on AUR fails installation with:
builds/player/src/player-3.0.2/server/drivers/shell/readlog.cc:668:43: error: cannot convert ‘FILE* {aka _IO_FILE*}’ to ‘gzFile’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘off_t gzseek(gzFile, off_t, int)’
builds/player/src/player-3.0.2/server/drivers/shell/readlog.cc:714:62: error: cannot convert ‘FILE* {aka _IO_FILE*}’ to ‘gzFile’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘char* gzgets(gzFile, char*, int)’
From this thread about the failed installation of a different package (Pixie) it looks like it is an error related to the zlib version: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=136269
The thread mentions how to fix the issue for Pixie, but I don't know how to replicate the solution for player. The offending lines are:
668 ret = gzseek(this->file,0,SEEK_SET);
and
714 ret = (gzgets(this->file, this->line, this->line_size) == NULL);
can anyone help?
Cheers,
Stefano
UPDATE: after visiting the zlib webpage I tried a different tack: downgrading zlib from 1.2.6 to 1.2.5. PLayer now compiles, but it fails at the linking stage with:
/usr/lib/libxine.so.2: undefined reference to `gzgetc_@ZLIB_1.2.5.2'

ALMOST SOLVED:
the file player/src/player-3.0.2/server/drivers/shell/readlog.cc must be changed as follows:
line 668
- ret = gzseek(this->file,0,SEEK_SET);
+ ret = gzseek((gzFile)this->file,0,SEEK_SET);
line 714
- ret = (gzgets(this->file, this->line, this->line_size) == NULL);
+ ret = (gzgets((gzFile)this->file, this->line, this->line_size) == NULL);
Now, can anyone tell me how to convince makepkg to use the fixed file instead of the original one?

Can't load line6usb driver module after installing from AUR

I downloaded the line6usb package from the AUR. After building then installing with pacman I should be able to load the module ala modprobe line6usb, but I get the error:
FATAL: MOdule line6usb not found.
I looked for the module itself and found it here(assuming this is it):
/lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/extra/line6usb.ko
Does anyone have an idea why I can't load this module? I'm still quite the noob with concerning things like this and I'm assuming it's something obvious I need to do.
