How to install execstack?

How can I install execstack with pacman?

I already tried:

pacman -S prelink

but apparently it doesn't exist.

I also tried this AUR but it doesn't work either.

Re: How to install execstack?

execstack from paxtest is a tool for testing executable stack behavior in system and it's different than prelink/execstack from AUR which is used to show/modify executable stack in system binaries. Anyway the AUR version installs and works good so I don't know what the problem is.

Neither do we, as this is all the OP gave us:

...it doesn't work either.

blah, please read this.  I see your comment on the aur page with at least part of the error message.  That clearly indicates you have not (properly) even retrieved the PKGBUILD which is the very first step in using an AUR package (see here for those steps).

EDIT: oops, that was not your AUR comment - I could have sworn it was, sorry.  But just the same we are completely in the dark about what might have failed in installing the AUR package as it works for other users.
