makepkg problems on freetype2-lcd

First off, I'm loving arch.  However, I've hit a roadblock I can't seem to get around.  I recently installed xfce4, but the fonts looked really bad.  I found this wiki page and decided to give it a try:
Beautify Fonts for LCD in X

I got past the steps where you uninstall cairo, libxft, and freetype2 and then reinstall cairo and libxft.  However, I can't get this step to work:

Install the package freetype2-lcd from AUR

makepkg -ci /full/path/freetype2-lcd-*.pkg.tar.gz

And yes, I did replace the path to the package. 

When I try to build the package using makepkg, I get this output:

[jacob@arch freetype]$ ls
freetype2-lcd.tar.gz
[jacob@arch freetype]$ tar tvf freetype2-lcd.tar.gz 
drwxr-sr-x nobody/aur        0 2008-01-22 11:57 freetype2-lcd/

[jacob@arch freetype]$ makepkg -ci freetype2-lcd.tar.gz 
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.

I'm new to this package manager, so could somebody give me a hint in the right direction?  Sorry for the newbie question.

Re: makepkg problems on freetype2-lcd

Run makepkg from inside of the folder. And welcome to the forums.

Re: makepkg problems on freetype2-lcd

I knew it was something that should have been blatantly obvious.  I've got it working now. 

Thanks for your help.
