Not able to build most things from AUR

Newbie here. I tried to install yay AUR helper by using these commands:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git
cd yay/
makepkg -s

But I got these error messages during the build:

==> Starting build()...
go build -v -ldflags '-s -w -X main.version=8.1173.0' -o yay
github.com/jguer/go-alpm
# github.com/jguer/go-alpm
.go/src/github.com/jguer/go-alpm/alpm.go:10:11: fatal error: alpm.h: No such file or directory
 // #include <alpm.h>
           ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:44: build] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Even tried installing package-query, pakku, etc.

All have trouble finding or linking my alpm (11.0.1) library. Is something wrong with my pacman(5.1.1)?

Someone else has the same problem while installing cower

Hi, I'm having problem installing cower. Already searched everywhere for the solution. It started after I updated my archlinux, 05-25-201. Here is the message: ==>
Starting build()...
cc ... -o cower.o src/cower.c src/cower.c:46:10: fatal error: alpm.h: No such file or directory #include <alpm.h></alpm.h>

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cower/

If you are new to arch and/or using the AUR, do not use an AUR helper, definitely not one so obtrussive as yay or yaourt.

But that is an odd error, what is the output of `pacman -Qkk pacman`?  Do you have `base-devel` installed?

Re: Not able to build most things from AUR

Please create test.c with the contents

#include <alpm.h>

With test.c created what is the output of the following?

gcc -o test.o -c test.c

Re: Not able to build most things from AUR

$ cat > test.c
#include <alpm.h>
$ gcc -o test.o -c test.c
test.c:1:10: fatal error: alpm.h: No such file or directory
 #include <alpm.h>
          ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

On a side note, even if I try to do this, it doesn't compile

#include</usr/include/X11/Xlib.h>

Thank you for your reply! smile
By running gcc with -v option, I got
https://pastebin.com/8aXZT6U4

It was Anaconda's gcc masking the /usr/bin/gcc in the $PATH env variable.
So after editing and sourcing the ~/.bashrc file, it's working fine now!

I'll try not to do dumb things from now on.

You mean like trying to use anaconda?
