Unable to install from AUR with yaourt

I am having problems installing packages from AUR. I can still use yaourt to install any packages from the official repositiories. As an example, when trying to install zenlib, I get this message:

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:
pacman.conf:

Ruby gems installed from AUR leave files behind if removed again

Most Ruby gems in the AUR use the PKGBUILD snippet provided by http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rub … Guidelines – now I think that using "gem install" will avoid the sandbox and also make it impossible for yaourt/clyde/… to keep track of the installed files. As a result of this, removing an installed package again (with `{yaourt,clyde,…} -R <package>` will *not* uninstall the gem, at all.
A quick test demonstrates this:
$ gem list | grep hmac
$ yaourt -S ruby-hmac
$ gem list | grep hmac
ruby-hmac (0.4.0)
$ yaourt -R ruby-hmac
$ gem list | grep hmac
ruby-hmac (0.4.0)
As you can see, the gem is still there.
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of using packages?

I can't reproduce this, neither with ruby-hmac nor with my own gem based ruby packages on aur (e.g. ruby-uuid or ruby-macaddr). Pacman says Installed/removed size for ruby-hmac is 0.42MB.
What's notable is that your gem version (1.3.6) is not the one currently shipped with arch's ruby package (1.3.1). Where does your gem installation come from?
On my system:
~$» pacman -Qo gem
/usr/bin/gem is owned by ruby 1.9.1_p429-1
~$» gem env

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 can I execute namebench installed from AUR?

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?

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.

Trying to install AUR with yaourt without success. bug?

can anybody have a look at this. trying to install Ardour3-svn from AUR. the package builds, but it fails to install. here the last lines: http://pastebin.com/xWgqnabW

Please preface your commands with LC_ALL=C so the output is in English...
There have been some other threads with yaourt erroring out the same way. Try and build it with makepkg and see how you go.

Can you check if:

Error: Makepkg was unable to build gnome-main-menu-svn package.
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

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...

[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!

HP Envy 5532 Printer - unable to install a driver with full functionality

Hi we have purchased a HP Envy 5532 all-in-one and were advised (and as stated on the packaging) that it will print 2 sided automatically.
So far we have followed the instructions on various sites but we do not appear to have the option in the printer's Preferences to be able to select 2 sided printing from the drop down list on the layout screen as there is no drop down list in there to select from as illustrated in the screen grab below:
The options to the left of the screen grab allow me to select a manual 2 sided option where it will prompt us to reload the paper manually but no automatic options?
Our operating system is: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and we have been on www.hp.com and downloaded the appropriate driverfor this environment.
The driver currently installed is: HP Envy 5530 Series Class Driver - the driver would not install off the disk which came with the printer so this was the recommended official download via the HP website
We have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor supplied on HP Connected it found issues with the driver "the Driver does not have full functions installed" and attempted to download a fully featured driver - this has failed again and again.... to load
We then downloaded and ran the "HP Installation failure unknown device" application and followed this to the letter 5 times!!! all this did was to stop the printer working at all. It ran until the install stage and then it keeps coming up unable to install on network - the printer is there on our network with an IP address???
We disabled all Firewalls and ran the install without any start up items running via misconfig options as directed but still it fails at the same point on installation.
We had to uninstall all HP drivers and let the PC "add a printer" via the Control Panel options which it has and we are able to print again but we do not have full functionality as we still can not print automatic 2 sided copies and when we run HP Print and Scan Doctor it still recognises that we do not have full functionality!!!
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks Steve

@Steve_Reeder, welcome to the Community
I read through your post about how you do not have access to the full software and options for your Envy 5532, as the Full Feature driver is not installing successfully on your Windows 8.1 system. I saw that you have tried various troubleshooting steps, such as a Clean Boot (msconfig), the Print and Scan Doctor, etc.
I will do my best to make some helpful suggestions to you to try out.
It seems as though you are trying to install on your network, could you possibly try installing the printer as a USB connection, and afterwards converting the USB connection to wireless through the HP software (applies to wireless connection and not ethernet)? If you're installing ethernet, skip this suggestion.
You could also try installing the printer under a Clean Boot (msconfig) and turn off your firewall, under a new user account with Admin Privileges, to see if that will work.
Another idea would be to run the System File Checker to see if this scan will pick up any issues:
Using System File Checker to Restore System Files
Please let me know your findings thus far, and if you notice any error messages or codes, let me know all of the details.
I hope to hear from you, enjoy your Wednesday

Linux-ck kernel from AUR with GCC optimisation and got Kernel panic

I have been using the linux-ck patched kernel from the AUR for the last few weeks https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/Linux-ck/
I decided I would try to compile it with the gcc optimised patch as well. https://github.com/graysky2/kernel_gcc_patch
I have a laptop using the intel i7-4712MQ CPU which I understand is part of the Haswell family.
I downloaded the tarball from the AUR, extracted it, I edited the PKGBUILD, to enabe the nconfig and also the BFQ scheduler, ran makepkg -s enabled the patch for Haswell chip family and saved it as .config and carried on building the kernel as normal, then installed the resulting packages with pacman -U kernel and the header and then rebooted.
on boot I received a failed to execute /init error 8 and no working init found, I fell back to using the default Arch Kernel and can also rebild the linux-ck patched kernel as normal with the GCC optimisation patch with no problems, but I want to understand what I did wrong when applying the GCC patch and fix it, if there is another log I can get please let me know and I will post it.
I know it is not the new version of the Kernel as I had built version 3.19-1 it without the gcc optimisation patch successfully on Friday
Thanks
Rob

This is not very clear. What do you mean you carried on building the kernel after running makepkg -s? Makepkg -s builds the packages, any configuration you make after that command is not applied to the built packages.
after running makepkg -S it came up with the menu to select different options for the kernel, so I arrowed to Processor type and features ---> Processor family ---> and found Intel Haswell, selected that and saved it by pressing f5 it saved to a file called .config and it started building the kernel
robt77 wrote:on boot I received a failed to execute /init error 8 and no working init found
Then the kernel loaded just fine - init failed. Did you (re)build an initramfs for the new kernel? What is the bootloader command used for this kernel?
44
I did not buikd ab initramfs, I have always just had to download the tar ball from AUR, extract it , then run makepkg -s and then install the packages with pacman -U and reboot.
Here is a link to the bootloader command from grub http://hastebin.com/roweqocuqi.vala

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)

[SOLVED]Whenever I try to install from aur, an error occurs

Whenever I try to install stuff from aur, this error occurs.
~/Downloads/fnfx/PKGBUILD: line 16: make: command not found
A failure occurred in build()
What is wrong?
