i'm a newbie, but i need to compile gnomad2

i read the sicky guide, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=1590,
but gnomad2 doesn't appear when i do
finde /var/abs/ -iname "*gnomad2*"
i know from where i can get it, but where do i put it? that's why i stopped
because downloading the pkgbuild, uncompress it and then what?
another point, the folder /var/abs/local doesn't exist, should i create it or i need to run some command?
correct me if i'm wrong, but if i

[root@limbo root]# groupadd abs
[root@limbo root]# usermod -G users,slocate,abs juan

[root@limbo root]# chown root.abs /var/abs/local
[root@limbo root]# chmod 775 /var/abs/local

in the guide, it seems that the author made all the process from the ~/aterm folder, just doing some links an applying permissions?
sorry for these dum topic, but i'm new on this distro

i read i can compile just like in debian/ubuntu
i was tryng, but i never understood what it meant
install the program not on /usr,  do it on $startdir/pkg/usr"
those are my doubts
thanks

As you may have noticed, that thread dates from 2003. I'm not even sure why it's sticky anymore.

Anyway, read about ABS in the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS … ild_System
After you've absorbed that, go to the AUR, where you will find a PKGBUILD for gnomad2. Read the AUR User Guidelines, and build your package.

Re: i'm a newbie, but i need to compile gnomad2

i read that
but like i said, i don't want to install gnomad2 with makepkg, just with ./configure make & make install
the wiki says that must be installed the program not in /usr
the other point is i don't know if i should create a folder on /var/abs/local called gnomad2...
the example cited i don't understand it very good

i dont understand, makepkg would do the same as what you want but allow you to upgrade/uninstall a lot easier than make && make install, if you want to install it to a different directory just tell it to do so

If you don't want to use makepkg, just go ahead and do the manual install. Specify whatever directory you want as the install location, and ignore /var/abs, the wiki, and anything else to do with ABS.

The link you gave was called 'makepkg/abs tutorial', so I thought you wanted to use makepkg.
