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.

Re: Unable to install from AUR with yaourt

Have you made sure that the PKGBUILD for the app is correct ?

Re: Unable to install from AUR with yaourt

The PKGBUILD looks correct.  It also supports x86_64, which is what I'm running Arch on.  It's also not this specific package that is the problem.  I haven't been able to use yaourt to install any packages from the AUR.  I can post other examples of packages not installing if that would help.  I haven't really compared one PKGBUILD file to another, so I don't know if showing how a different package fails would help.

Re: Unable to install from AUR with yaourt

Just to make sure yaourt is not causing the problem, try to compile the package with makepgk.

Re: Unable to install from AUR with yaourt

I tried running just makepkg and I get the same errors that I got when using yaourt.  I didn't try running makepkg with sudo since it isn't the normal usage of makepkg.  Would it give any extra insight if I did try running sudo makepkg?

No, I dont think so.

Just for the record, the archstuff repo has the compiled libzen package:
pacman.conf:
