[SOLVED] Trying to install yaourt and cairo-lcd but says Error

I was trying to install cairo-lcd manually as I usually do from aur when after building and trying to install I get

error: package "cairo-lcd-1.8.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz" not found

Thought there may be a problem with it so tried going down the yaourt route but trying to install that gives the same thing.
I cd into the folder as normal build it then pacman -Q as root.

I admit it's been a while since I installed anything from aur but done it plenty of times to know what to do....am I missing something blindingly obvious?

just download the tarball from aur, extract it, edit PKGBUILD and add the sed line before configure(sed line that you get from our cairo package), makepkg and pacman -U cairo-lcd-1.8.8-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

I did that so cairo-lcd would install, the problem I am having is pacman -Q* doesn't find the tar.gz to install

[root@Arch andy]# cd /home/andy/yaourt
[root@Arch yaourt]# pacman -Q yaourt-0.9.2.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
error: package "yaourt-0.9.2.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz" not found
[root@Arch yaourt]#

its the same with cairo-lcd

Re: [SOLVED] Trying to install yaourt and cairo-lcd but says Error

because you don't know how to use pacman.
it should be pacman -Q package, pacman -Q yaourt

It was pacman -U package I should have been using, I got Q from somewhere. Sorted now.

I do know how to use pacman thankyou, having not done -U for a while I got mixed up. Maybe you should brush up on your knowledge as pacman -Q was wrong.
