makepkg failing in yaourt [SOLVED]

Hi. Every package I attempt to install with yaourt seems to fail at the makepkg point right after you're asked to install it. They all compile fine but it stops at that point. I'm not sure what to do. I think it might have had something to do with me deleting /home...eh. It was from a fresh install so there was nothing in it. I've been running as root since the setup (yea I know).

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-lxpanel-svn/lxpanel-svn/src/lxpanel'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/aur-lxpanel-svn/lxpanel-svn/src/lxpanel'

Re: makepkg failing in yaourt [SOLVED]

The error you have posted does not match the description you have given i.e. it is not failling on install. In this case, the build function expects to execute a sed command on Makefile.am, but that file does not exist. You need to find out why it's not there.

More generally - recreate /home, add a user, stop running as root.

Yep - yaourt needs to resource the PKGBUILD before attempting to copy svn/git/etc packages:

Finished making: lxpanel-svn 1433-1 i686 (Thu May  7 22:38:46 PDT 2009)

and notice the different pkgname/pkgver used here:

error: './lxpanel-svn-1227-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': cannot open package file
==> WARNING: Your package is saved in /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/lxpanel-svn-1227-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
cp: cannot stat `./lxpanel-svn-1227-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz': No such file or directory
==> WARNING: Unable to copy lxpanel-svn-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz to /tmp/yaourt-tmp-root/ directory

yaourt bug...

KCE - thanks for changing your post, and not mentioning it. Makes my last post irrelevant.
