build fails no /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh

I am trying to build gnome-system-tools and I keep failing here:

[root@localhost system-tools]# makepkg -i
==> Making package: system-tools-backends 1.2.0-1 (Fri Sep 21 12:26:10 EDT 2007)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...

==> Removing existing pkg/ directory...
==> Starting build()...
PKGBUILD: line 20: /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh: No such file or directory

What am I missing?  Why no /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh?
I am running Gnome 2.18.3 and starting it with gdm.  Totally lost at this point.
Thanks

i don't have it either ... maybe it's from the old fs layout, make sure the pkgbuild is the latest one, also I'm sure it's safe to just comment out that line from the pkgbuild

Re: build fails no /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh

The output in your post says you're trying to build system-tools-backends, not gnome-system-tools. According to the relevant AUR page, that package was submitted over two years ago, and hasn't been updated since. The upstream release date for system-tools-backends 1.2.0 was 08 March 2005.

Find a more recent release, and see if that builds correctly for you.

Is there a place that has more up to date PKGBUILDs than the AUR pages? I figured those were out of date, but didn't know where else to go. Thanks for the info.

Re: build fails no /etc/profile.d/gnome.sh

Update the PKGBUILD locally yourself, once you have established the latest version of the application.

Normally, you would flag it out of date in the AUR, but as it's over two years old, there's a fair chance the maintainer is no longer around. If you want to take it over and maintain it yourself, ask on the AUR mailing list.
