Cannot install anything from AUR

Sandro · 2012-03-01 00:23:30

Hi everyone, I'm quite new on Arch and I'm having troubles trying to installing software from the AUR. When I try to run 'makepkg' I only get:

==> ERROR: install file (google-chrome-dev.install) does not exist.

(in this case with Chrome, but it happens with everything else, too)
I feel like it's something stupid, but I can't figure out what.

Thank you for the support.

Are you only downloading the PKGBUILD from the AUR?
You need to download and unpack the tarball, then cd into it and run makepkg there. It should contain all the necessary files.

Thank you, my feeling was right, it was a stupid question : D
