Cannot install Yaourt [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm trying to install Yaourt because I need it to install from AUR as explained at http://linuxandfriends.com/2009/09/30/a … -from-aur/ and I proceed all to the "makepkg" part, but I stuck there..

[ibrahim@Broi yaourt]$ wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz
--2012-02-27 11:13:21--  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz

[ibrahim@Broi yaourt]$ tar xvzf yaourt.tar.gz

[ibrahim@Broi yaourt]$ cd yaourt
[ibrahim@Broi yaourt]$ makepkg

==> Missing Dependencies:

==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
[ibrahim@Broi yaourt]$ 

Also, I tried to install package-query which is dependencie, but it says "target not found"...

You need to install that by hand. Follow this guide on how to do it manually. Wiki is your friend.

Re: Cannot install Yaourt [SOLVED]

Nevermind, I found how to install from AUR without yaourt.... sorry for thread...
-Download Tarball
-Extract to some directory
-CD to that dir with terminal
-do "makepkg -s"
-wait to finish
-do "sudo pacman -U *xz

Nothing new, but someone will maybe find this helpfull.

Srry again.

Re: Cannot install Yaourt [SOLVED]

just my opinion:
yaourt is great, but can really become a pain in the ass, thanks to that other component - package query. during some pacman updates yaourt can broke, or worse, prevent you from upgrading until package query is removed. The last time i messed things up REALLY bad. Now I use cower, which is the opposite of yaourt: really minimal.
