So how can I execute namebench?

Thanks

What did you do to install it? I.e. are you sure you installed it correctly?

I followed instructions from this link.

$ cd ~***/Downloads/_Applications_From_AUR
$ tar -xvf namebench.tar.gz

After that

$ cd namebench
$ nano PKGBUILD

When I read PKGBUILD there were dendencies tha I installed correctly. python2-graphy was installed from AUR too.

$ makepkg -s

# pacman -U namebench-1.3.1-7-any.pkg.tar.xz   

I had no errors at all.

EDIT: How can I figure out whether I installed it correctly or not?

Oh, I had to type

namebench.py

I executed

pacman -Qm

to list all installed packages from AUR. So, namebench was there. After that I typed the name and a tab after that showed to me what i had to type. SOLVED

You can use `pacman -Ql namebench` to see the files provided by the package.

The actual executable is called namebench.py not namebench.

$ pacman -Ql namebench | grep /usr/bin
namebench /usr/bin/
namebench /usr/bin/namebench.py
