Hello,
I was trying to install gift.
I didn't find it with pacman so I downloaded the tar archives: gift, gift-gnutella, gift-openft.
I compiled and installed them.
After that I tried to install gift-ares, which tarball i downloaded from aur.
I made makepkg --asroot and the problem appeared: Missing dependencies gift.
How can I find where I installed gift and make gift-ares installation realize where to find gift.
Thanks!

All those packages are in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … _Search=Go

If you didn't install them with pacman, then pacman won't know they are on your system... See the note here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AB … ithout_ABS
However, if you are not careful, files may become scattered throughout the filesystem that pacman (or any other package manager) will be unaware of. You should only use this method if you are experienced at manual compilation and system software tracking, as it can lead to future problems on Arch (or any distribution) if using a package manager.

whereis gift
Type that into the terminal. It'll tell you where gift is installed at.
Not sure how to tell makepkg where gift is though.
How exactly did you install gift? What commands did you run?

./configure
make
make install
I think that in Makefile says where installed it.
I will do make uninstall where I did make and try yaourt.
Thanks!

Instead of yaourt, go with packer or clyde.

I dont use packer because it doesnt show while searching as to whether the package is already installed on the system or not.

Sure it does:
$ packer stellarium
0 extra/stellarium 0.10.6-1 [installed]
A stellarium with great graphics and a nice database of sky-objects
1 aur/stellarium-bzr 4782-1
A 3D planetarium software which renders realistic skies in real time
Type numbers to install. Separate each number with a space.
Sorry about the topic detour.

True, but not for "packages installed from AUR" unlike clyde & yaourt.

Ah, yes. Valid point.
