Issue with libfakeroot.so upon makepkg of xmonad-darcs

Hi everyone

I'm new to arch, and instantly fell in love. Only one glitch persists:
To make the story short: Java stuff with jre1.7 (no matter what version, sun or openjdk) does not get keyboard input. According to https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 => Arch users must install darcs-xmonad. I did that and got:

darcs: error while loading shared libraries: libfakeroot.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when issuing makepkg.

fakeroot is installed correctly and registered in ld.conf.d (to be sure, I even symlinked into /usr/lib).

Anyone an idea? It is pretty important to me, as I need to get some Java applications running under xmonad. Last resort would be to fall back to jre1.6 though.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Look at the date of that bug report.... It is no longer relevant.

And openjdk7 works fine for me with xmonad.

As for the error from darcs, where did you get darcs from?

Also, currenly there is almost no difference betwee xmonad 0.10.1 and the darcs tree.

I've been having the same issues with java apps (intellij-idea) so I had to install xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs from AUR.

I've fixed the error you mentioned by adding a package() section to the PKGBUILD

Here's my updated PKGBUILD for xmonad-darcs
And here's the one for xmonad-contrib-darcs

Cheers!

Thanks, pasting those PKGBUILDs worked for me.

I can confirm that the PKGBUILDS posted by vially fixed the error. Thanks.
