[SOLVED] install thinkfan

Hi all, I'm tryng to installa thinkfan reading the wiki, but I'm stuck (at the begin).
Well I donwloaded thinkfan
run:

 cmake CMakeList.txt
make
sudo make install

and the result is:

linofex@T410i ~/Downloads/thinkfan-0.9.3 % make install 
Scanning dependencies of target thinkfan

[sudo] password di linofex:

No errors, so I think that is ok,  but, reading the wiki I see that

 # pacman -Ql thinkfan 

says the that the package cannot be found
and in

/usr/lib/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf

there is not the file
Also,

sudo thinkfan -n

/etc/thinkfan.conf: No such file or directory
Refusing to run without usable config file!

so I wrong somewhere. Where?

Re: [SOLVED] install thinkfan

The wiki says to install thinkfan from AUR, so please do so. You only win. A (hopefully) well maintained PKGBUILD and all installed files will be tracked by pacman.

Thank you! I installed through another package, not aur. Now it works!
