PrinceXML installation

I'm looking to install PrinceXML on my 64-bit Archlinux installation. I need this to use the Deki Wiki.

The download site for PrinceXML is here:
http://www.princexml.com/download/

Which one would I install? Can pacman handle DEB or RPM files?

Re: PrinceXML installation

it would  be best to use the default tar.gz file and create a PKGBUILD to install it in arch

I agree this is the best way, however I do not have the time nor the knowledge necessary to do something like this. As irreversible as it may be, I would rather use their installation shell script packaged with the tarball.

I appreciate your help.

Re: PrinceXML installation

turns out it's already in the AUR so you can just install it from there. http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=13523

edit=sorry, i didn't realize it was only for i686

Well I'm running 64-bit archlinux so that should be fine. Thank you! If only Deki Wiki was available in AUR
