Hi, I just migrated from Ubuntu, thus I've never had to build package before. I downloaded nspluginwrapper from AUR, went into the directory, did a makepkg and got a nspluginwrapper.install among other files. My question is, where do I go from here? How do I install it so I can install flash (already downloaded) and get it to work with firefox? This would also help with installing other packages, such as Sega Genesis emulators.

First, you need to ensure that you have a nspluginwrapper.x.y-z.pkg.tar.gz file in the current directory. Then execute 'pacman -A nspluginwrapper.x.y-z.pkg.tar.gz' to install the newly built package. You should have already installed the necessary lib32 packages at this point. Next, download the correct nspluginwrapper-flash package from AUR, build and repeat the above install instructions.

I tried that, however, this is what I got.
[root@myhost ~]# pacman -A nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.2-1.pkg.tar.gz

When you built it, did you notice any output? I ask because if you don't change the permissions on rpmextract.sh to make it executable, the build will fail. This is true at least as a regular user; I never tried it as root.

I ran it using the root console.
