[SOLVED] Rebuild single package

How does one rebuild a single package that was installed using yaourt?

I was trying to use the grive package but ran into "grive: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_program_options.so.1.64.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

In the package comments (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/grive/?comments=all) the author suggested "Just rebuild grive against the new boost-libs package..."

So my general question is: How do you "rebuild" a package?

Re: [SOLVED] Rebuild single package

yaourt does *not* install things.  pacman does.

You download the snapshot from the page you linked and you build the package with makepkg.  Then install it with pacman -U

Download the tarball, extract it and run makepkg -si.
