I'm attempting to install packet tracer with the instructions I found at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PacketTracer . I obtained PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz from the internet and downloaded the packettracer.tar.gz from the AUR. I extracted packettracer.tar.gz and moved PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz to the resulting folder.
When I run makepkg as a normal user, I get the error:
[joshua@mesa packettracer]$ makepkg
==> ERROR: Cannot find the fakeroot binary required for building as non-root user.
When I decide to be bad and try as root, I get the error:
[joshua@mesa packettracer]$ sudo makepkg --asroot
==> Making package: packettracer 6.0.1-2 (Mon Sep 9 18:32:28 EDT 2013)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
==> ERROR: Cisco Packet Tracer 6.0.1 for Linux (with tutorials) was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.
I also tried to just install PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz via its own install script. It installs to /opt/pt without error, but when I try to run the start script from there, nothing happens. I also tried extracting PacketTracerv5.3.3Application+TutorialGenericFedora.tar.gz inside the packettracer directory and running makepkg, but I had no success there either.
I appreciate any help.

The requirements mention installing base-devel https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PacketTracer
It would be wise to follow them instead "deciding to be bad" ;P
Have you read the comment by wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/packettracer/ ?

I have base-devel installed. I didn't quite follow wget's comment. I think I may be in well over my head.

I have base-devel installed.
So why is fakeroot missing? Or have you installed the base-devel group only now?

Maybe it's so simple you overlooked it.
The wiki article is out of date. It tells you to use Packet Tracer 5.3.3, when currently you need Packet Tracer 6.0.1:
