Re: Problems with makepkg

check the permissions in the folder you want to make the package. looks like it has not the correct permissions.

Re: Problems with makepkg

im following this guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines) so the folder is /var/abs/local .  Should I make my user the owner for this folder?

Re: Problems with makepkg

tafsen - if you want to build packages from /var/abs/local, usually the best way to go about doing it is to make an 'abs' group, give /var/abs/local group write permissions, and add any users who're 'allowed' to make packages to the 'abs' group.  That's the way I used to do it... but for an (essentially) single-user machine, it's overkill, and I just make a ~/pkg dir and build my packages in there now.
